Pros
Countless managers, clients, and experts have taken the time to have REAL conversations with me about professional development. I came to GLG eager to grow my career and I have been equipped throughout my time here with the tools and guidance to do so. You will see plenty of reviews on how impactful the people are at GLG and I cannot express how true that is. There is a culture of ask anybody anything that allows folks of all levels of experience to learn from everyone around them. Junior professionals are empowered to speak up when they have an idea, managers will amplify the voice of those below them, and the leadership team takes the time to listen to everyone. I moved to Austin for GLG not knowing anyone. I recently moved back to NYC w/ GLG bringing with me friends for life and the ability to grow a business. From a very early point in my career I was trusted to cultivate relationships with CEOs of F1000 companies and be a thought partner for leaders within the finance industry. I have learned more from this job than I ever thought would be possible.
Cons
I think folks can get tired of the evolution. I personally cannot consider that a con. GLG has always been willing to try new strategies in order to stay the market leader. Not all strategies work but we’ve been smart enough to know when to pivot. Current leadership in Americas have put in place a stellar attack plan that has positively impacted all professional across the organization.
