Pros

Are there any pros here?

Cons

C-level execs have no understanding of the frontline. The CEO has changed the direction of the company every 6 months and it has led to nothing, its worse than it was before. Long stressful days that will leave you so exhausted that you will start questioning the meaning of life. 8 am start without any guarantee of how long you will work that day. God forbid a client sends a new project at 6 pm, you will be sitting at your laptop until 9 pm. Smaller competitors eating the market share, frontline has to fight extra hard to slow down the ever decreasing market share. Most middle management and competent people have already left after years of no change and running around like headless chickens. I am amazed how long the C-level has been able to keep their jobs. Either they are geniuses at fooling the investors or the investors are too naive to see it through.

Pros

Not applicable at all (truly)

Cons

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.
