Pros

Nice people, good starting spot - job market is tough right now so a job is a job. If you want a more account management/customer success role and you're just out of uni. then maybe use this as a stepping stone.

Cons

Poor upper management Low morale, Frequent restructuring, Multiple team changes, Mid quarter KPI changes without notice Poorly attainable KPIs Micromanaging, Internal politics (senior leaders magically choosing to leave with some only being in job for less than a year), Poor AI implementation to the point it just seems like token maxing with score boarding of how many people are using it - this also led to a website with poorly generated AI videos, A lot of outsourcing to India - when it comes to internal processes and support or even HR you will be waiting and communicating for days just to solve one problem Constant cost cutting Office attendance tracking Terrible career prospects and mobility Role responsibilities slowing changing towards more of a recruiter/call centre role High churn - when joining it's not great to see multiple leaving drinks over and over within your first month Very poor communication from management, town halls seem to be PR for new AI applications rather than speaking elephants in the room. Some teams are becoming really big on being available to clients 1 hr before working hours and 3 hours after working hours. Job is very repetitive and monotonous, some will like this others won't.

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.
