Pros

- The people at GLG are incredibly smart, hardworking, caring, and very fun to work with. Especially now, you can see a lot of heart is put into client work and I feel that it’s getting better. - Decent salary and benefits - Time off policy is invaluable - and (from every leader I have had) managers WANT you to utilize the unlimited PTO - (Pre-covid) times the office is beautiful and there is free coffee - Good work rewards (utilizing recognition programs where you can trade in points for a number of fun items/gift cards) - A lot more flexibility when working from home. The client solutions role can be very up and down in how busy you are, and it’s nice to be at home during slow days so you can do housework, exercise, etc.

Cons

- Long and often unpredictable hours - The learning curve is steep at GLG, but once you know the job it can become a little repetitive - It can be hard to set boundaries for after-work hours - it would be nice to know that before accepting the job

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
