Vantaggi

Great place to start your career. You get to work with interesting colleagues, experts and clients. If you are fresh out of college, this could be a good opportunity as you work on several projects covering different industries which gives you a pretty good overview of your interests. You will get a good experience of working in team, working in time sensitive situation and improve your soft skills. You get to understand the value chain of many industries which gives you decent exposure. What you do with that exposure is the key! Treat it as a ladder for your next job, dont get stuck here. Salary is decent compared to industry standard. Depending on office, you will meet some great people.

Svantaggi

Your job will get repetitive no matter what. The learning curve gets flat after 2 years and there is nothing you or the management can do about it. Highly number driven company, if you dont hit your targets - you are in trouble. Turnover is high - at least 5 people leave every month and company replace them with 5 more. There is no work life balance. If you leave at 6 pm everyday, you will not hit your target. Clients we serve, work 18 hours which means you will have to be available to service them. Lastly, if you work for this company for 5 years, you are mostly unemployable for any other industry as you dont really learn any core skills. Its not sales, not marketing, not supply chain, not research, not account management!! All you learn is - soft skills, working in teams, time pressure etc.

We agree GLG is a great place to start a career because working here comes with a lot of responsibility. Our associates become client-facing quickly. That requires a level of responsiveness that isn’t always easy. We’re working hard to make this an even better place to work – leveraging technology and training wherever we can. We’re learning with you, and we’re making improvements every day. Take communication for example. We’ve made it a big priority and you can look no further than our global town halls this year to see the difference – with live Q&A and new technology, senior leaders (including our CEO) have already visited Austin, New York, Hong Kong, and Dublin this year to share live updates with every GLG employee. Communication is important to us, and we hope you’ll reciprocate by sharing specific feedback (especially when it’s constructive) with senior management and HR directly.

Vantaggi

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!

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Svantaggi

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.
