Pros

Good base salary and benefits, effective senior leadership, commitment to diversity and social impact. There is opportunity to re-skill and change divisions / business units using internal mobility. Great PTO policy.

Cons

Churn and burn roles at lower levels, limited career growth opportunities. Intense competition from other providers plus "always on" expectation for email especially during business hours. Repetitive work, limited skill development in lower level roles.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As you pointed out, we strongly believe in the importance of social impact and diversity. It’s encouraging to know you feel the same way. Many GLGers find social impact projects among the most rewarding parts of their experience. It’s true, we are in a competitive industry. We don’t see this as a bad thing, however. It drives us to push each other to grow as individuals, teammates, and leaders in a category we created, and to hire the most passionate, talented people we can find. The work is fast-paced, and ultimately not for everybody. In those instances, we offer pathways for employees interested in different opportunities across the organization. We are committed to helping all GLGers find balance in their work and in their lives, including by offering unlimited PTO. With rapid growth comes a need to hire more to support our global teams, and we are projected to do just that. Increasing our headcount will give individual contributors more flexibility and consistency in client facing roles.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
