Pros

Great healthcare plan you can take advantage of for the therapy you will need from working at GLG. Remote work is a plus but not really something unique these days. 401k match, great health benefits, free food 1x a week, etc. All these benefits can also be found at other companies who will actually pay a competitive salary :)

Cons

Where do I begin? GLG preys on young, impressionable new college grads and promises them a bright future at a successful, exciting company with fun projects and a great work environment. The truth is that the project work is boring, monotonous and you will end up burnt out and under-appreciated. Managers and upper management provide unrealistic targets, play favorites and listen to feedback, but no action is ever taken in response. Turnover is high here, with nearly everyone in my starting onboarding group leaving within the first 6 months for other jobs or quitting with no job lined up. Time after time, GLG upper management listened to anonymous questions and concerns about burnout and months later nothing was different. Employees are constantly burnout from unrealistic metrics, heavy workload and micromanagement. Also, company culture? There is no culture. If you are a young new grad considering starting your career at GLG, please reconsider.

Pros

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
