Pros

The best part about GLG is the environment, and the caliber of people you'll work with. I worked primarily for the marketing team, which has grown quickly and has completely re-invigorated the company's digital properties. Lots of great talent and experience on this team. The NY office itself is full of fantastic, interesting characters. Sit at the espresso bar for a bit and you can speak with people from every area of the business, whether it's in regard to GLG or shared outside interests. There are many young, hungry, resourceful people that make day-to-day life quite pleasant. I made plenty of friends in a year and a half at the business.

Cons

Role progression isn't the most clear-cut when you're transitioning from one role to the next. This could be improved upon.

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

Not applicable at all (truly)

Cons

Genuinely I don’t know where to start. I’ve submitted and deleted two reviews in the past 3 months alone. On the surface GLG seems like the place to be to learn from members and executives, but just give it a little bit of time and you’ll quickly see how obvious the cracks are. The culture here is so toxic, managers either do not know or don’t want to delegate project work so you’ll find yourself getting whiplash just trying to get information related to your job from your OWN BOSS. At the same time everyone you interact with is the epitome of “that’s not my job”. The executive leadership team is a mean girls club made up entirely of friends of friends who have their direct reports working well into the night to pull things together so that they look good. The “motivators” the executives use is truly bullying (like constantly pulling up your job description to purposefully make you look and feel small) any other organization would identify making your employees purposely feel stupid and shut down as straight bullying. It’s truly no surprise that you will regularly see employees crying in the hallways. I have never seen a leadership team this incompetent.
