Pros

Peers will be great people, but unfortunately this isn't reason enough to take a job Pay is nice, but not when considering overtime

Cons

Work/Life Balance is seriously lacking The job itself is very mundane, and will not give you good experience to break into other industries. Again, peers are great, but unfortunately not much diversity in office as a whole. Few instances where I did feel uncomfortable as a minority. These were mostly isolated, but this really should never happen, and would be easily solved with a more diverse workforce. If you have a choice, pick your other offer, or continue your job search - be wary about selecting GLG based on what it seems to be.

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

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.
