Pros

- The company has a unique business model and every project comes with a challenge that can be very fulfilling for people who like engaging work. - The company has decent reputation in the industry which makes it easier to not come off as a scam when contacting targets.

Cons

- Discrimination in the workplace. Managers are inexperienced at managing people and have no idea / ability to manage employees who come from diverse backgrounds. The worst part is that they don't even realize how their actions are discriminatory which makes understanding racist behavior a remote concept for them. Their condescending tone and inability to intrinsically drive people is going to scare away younger talent (of color) when cities like Austin see more opportunities flocking.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re sorry to hear your experiences do not align with our efforts to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Diversity is a core value at GLG, guiding how we treat each other, our clients, and our experts. We’ve strengthened our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives significantly over the last year and a half, launching seven Diversity Networks, expanding our training and education programming for our front-line managers, redoubling our commitment to sourcing candidates from diverse backgrounds, and raising awareness around our no-tolerance policies for discrimination. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but know this work is never complete. The situation you describe certainly comes as news to us, and it's something we absolutely want to investigate (with your cooperation). Do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our People Team or our Chief Diversity Officer Desireé Dancy directly to share specifics about your experience.

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.
