Vantaggi

GLG is a good place to learn basic office skills on time management and communication. Employees get experience managing a pipeline of projects under tight deadlines.

Svantaggi

There is no clear path for career progression or role differentiation. Employees feel constant pressure from demanding clients and from managers within GLG. Depending on client segment/team, there is an expectation you respond to emails within 5 minutes of receipt. You will spent around 10 hours in the office and a couple more hours working from home, aside from checking emails every 2 minutes. The hours are long and the work can be tedious and repetitive. There is very little Research done; most of the work is administrative. The company is trying to implement change but does not communicate effectively.

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Not applicable at all (truly)

Svantaggi

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.
