Pros

GLG is for people who: a. have no other job offers b. fresh out of college For the former, it provides you with a decent pay (if you're desperate), exposure to different businesses, and a chance to develop soft skills. I strongly recommend you find another job within 18 months MAX.

Cons

- Pay is below average (unless your senior mgmt) but you have free coffee and redesigned offices! - High turnover means you have the most incompetent managers as talented ppl leave quickly - Misleading Job titles (This one is laughable, none of the title mean what you think!) - Very little room for advancement/opportunities for professional development - Research is glorified receptionist - Business Development is essentially telemarketing/cold calling/direct sales

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.
