Vantaggi

- Recruiting team hires very smart people out of college. Easy way to make friends in a new city. - Most people tend to find a better opportunity that they really enjoy within 1-2 years. Many of my colleagues left for great jobs at leading tech companies, finance companies, and grad schools. - There is a clear path for promotion early in your tenure. If you perform reasonably well, it’s not very difficult to advance through the Client Solutions positions to become a Team Lead. - Just about all of my colleagues were genuinely kind.

Svantaggi

- The work itself is monotonous and unenjoyable. There is little to no creativity involved, and the majority of the time I felt like I was bothering people, both on the client and Council Member side. - Clients are typically young-ish professionals from high-profile consulting and financial services firms. This is a double-edged sword. It’s great to put experience working with these firms on your resume, but the people you will work with are generally rude, condescending, and believe the rest of the world exists to serve them. - Cog in the machine feel. - Metrics are generally not reasonable. - Often times there is little correlation between the effort you put in on a project and the actual outcome. - After the first couple of promotions there is very little opportunity to advance. - Expect to be micromanaged.

We appreciate your thoughts. Career progression has been a top focus of ours as GLG leaders, and as we enter the new year, we are making a few changes. First, we are reducing the size of our teams across the organization, while offering more robust manager training for those who lead them. This will help ensure GLGers have the support they need as they grow within the company (without impacting overall headcount). We also understand not everyone wants to lead a team, so we’re creating more opportunities for strong individual contributors to get promoted without taking on leadership responsibilities. Additionally, we’ve redesigned roles overall to offer a deeper sense of account ownership for our colleagues at every level of the organization. As return to office plans begin to materialize, we are committed to providing a flexible workplace environment that meets our colleagues at the moment, mindful of everyone’s individual circumstances. We are sorry to learn about your experience, but wish you all the best in your next role.

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

Vantaggi

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Svantaggi

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
