Pros

The product is amazing. It’s a really interesting opportunity to talk to incredible people and understand how the smartest people in any given field think. The social impact program is also really great.

Cons

Innovation is discouraged at every level. Glg hires people and doesn’t realize that their fresh eyes are an asset and instead tries to force them to think like a glg’er. There is no opportunity to solve problems that you might notice or experiment creatively. Promos and management are extremely political. Hard work isn’t necessarily rewarded if you don’t know the right people. Work life balance is also abysmal. Since this is a lot of people’s first jobs they don’t necessarily realize that these things shouldn’t be acceptable.

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.
