      Pros

      Every 15 days free lunch or breakfast

      Cons

      Managers at this organization do not trust their employees and micromanage them and what is worst is that this issue appears to be across the globe in their different offices which shows the type of culture at GLG. There is no opportunities to grow within the Council Development Team and it is impossible to move to a different business unit. They offer the opportunity to work in a different country which it is nearly impossible for most of the employees at GLG as they can't sponsor you in most of the countries they have operations. In addition to this, Managers can be childish and bullies with their own employees. Managers at GLG also love giving negative feedback and do not praise for the hardwork and good results. The job is super monotonous and boring. Do NOT join this company, this is why everyone that has gotten a chance has left and please read other reviews. Majority will be negative which will show you it is not a good employer.

      GLG Response

      We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We hold our managers across the organization to a much higher standard than the one described. After getting feedback from GLGers like you, we set about reducing the size of our teams, while offering more robust manager training. This ensures GLGers have the support they need as they grow within the company, without impacting overall headcount. We understand not everyone wants to lead a team, so we created more opportunities for strong individual contributors to get promoted without taking on leadership responsibilities. We’ve also redesigned client-facing roles to offer a deeper sense of account ownership for our colleagues looking to develop those skills. The role you had is challenging and not a perfect fit for everyone. That’s why we have a dedicated Mobility Team to help GLGers with any cross-departmental moves. We regret we couldn’t address your concerns while you were still with the company but wish you all the best in your new role.

      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

      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.
