Pros
- GLG is located in Central London, accessible through different modes of transportation. - Smart people. A bunch of very smart and talented individuals in the company that don't shy away from working hard. Very good vibes from most people.
Cons
The Headline is a statement mentioned by the head of a division in the organisation after they mandated employees to work from the office, 4 days a week. This is a policy that the CEO committed to not implement last year, verbally. Why should the employees trust the management? Who is running the show? If the goal of the management is to demoralise their employees in order to make everyone leave, then congratulations, they have accomplished it. It takes special skills to get people that have recently started working with GLG in the past few months, upset as well. The management of this company feels like the violin quartet playing on the decks of the titanic as it sinks. There is no vision, no direction to any decisions they have made in the past few months. I have personally had three different managers in the span of five months. The company has decided to "streamline" the business by integrating with the US, however, they are gradually eliminating ALL the perks that the employees had - Holidays during Christmas week, phone allowance, flexible working, having a dedicated project support team to schedule calls- all gone. Seriously, whoever runs the comms for this company needs to watch South Park. We are becoming every single corporate parody possibly imaginable with a management seriously out of touch with reality with everything happening on the ground, but doubling down on its heavy handed tactics to demotivate everyone. Throwing a party in a 5 star hotel with sushi platters isn't going to motivate anyone to work if it means demoting everyone's titles. We are the ones that bring business to the company but are made to work excessively, with the monthly salary being our only benefit.
