Vantaggi

GLG is extremely fast-paced and as a result you really get a sense of buzz in the everyday working life. Hours are intense but work life balance is good compared to other finance/consulting type roles. Management in EMEA has a clear direction of where the business unit is headed and the engagement team structure allows this to be communicated down well as well as making the teams feel engaged and that they have a say in the direction/growth of the company. True meritocracy and high performance is rewarded with v. good pay. Opportunity to own client relationships relatively early in career and to lead people.

Svantaggi

Benefits to London employees are quite basic at the moment but I hear that these are being reviewed this year. New HR team making a real difference. Lots of internal meetings despite a determination to reduce them. For those that aren’t treating each project as a chance to learn then they really don’t get as much out of the job as can get. There are people here who have been with the company for 8-9+ years and still clearly enjoy working here. Some inconsistency in performance of Team Leaders.

Risposta di GLG

I certainly agree with you about the sense of buzz at GLG – in every office I’ve visited. But where I agree most is that working at GLG, and at any job really, is most fulfilling when every single project is treated as a chance to learn. Thanks for your feedback regarding benefits, which – you’re right – are constantly being reviewed by my team (and thank you for complimenting our work as well!)

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.
