Pros

If you are a high performer, you will be recognised and you will be awarded accordingly. Management wants you to succeed and helps you to do so especially if you are doing well as by doing so they are trying to retain such talent.

Cons

Clients can be arseholes at times as they are working with our competitors and at times treat us as if we are just tools. In this case you have to be cold hearted not to care and every day you come in to work you don’t know whether or not it will be a ‘peaceful day’. The situation is getting worse and worse as the time goes by.

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.
