Pros
I’ve worked with super smart and curious individuals who take pride in what they do. I learn not only from my managers but from individuals across all levels and places within the organization. I’ve had managers who have believed in me and pushed me by giving me direct feedback (sometimes that feedback hurt but that’s ok, it made me better and I am thankful). If you put in the hard work, the opportunity to progress is limitless. Your career at GLG is a function of your effort. On a personal level, I’ve forged friendships for life. People genuinely care about each other; competition is healthy in nature and there is a true sense of community. As cliché as it may sound, people are the best thing about GLG. I smirk while reading reviews about no transferable skills being acquired by individuals in the front lines. Six months into the job and one could be DIRECTLY engaging with senior-level clients – very few companies/jobs give people that exposure or opportunity. Client service is an art and no better place to master it than GLG; clients can be demanding and have high expectations of performance and responsiveness from GLG and good work will help one create professional relationships that will last a lifetime. Tough times typically reveal true character. The company’s actions during the current COVID crisis demonstrate employee-centric approach and the fact that leadership truly cares. Management has been very transparent with employees and communication has been solid. GLG’s social impact programs give each employee the opportunity to give back to the causes they care about in the time when they need it most. Things change frequently. Yeah, it's called continuous improvement! Every business aspires to be better and GLG is no different. If you are a current employee and have a point of view on things, I'd encourage you to openly speak to management as every opinion matters.
Cons
You'll be expected to work hard :)
