Pros

If you're a hard worker and have more than half a brain, you will not have any of the issues listed by the haters here on GlassDoor who failed at doing a good job and are now seeking a fleeting moment of revenge that only a scathing, biased, and anonymous review can offer. Some of the best pros to working at GLG are: -free food, amazing/award winning office space in the middle of downtown, quarterly happy hours, & 2 free coffee bars -internal mobility opportunities to 16 worldwide offices -yearly evaluations and employee engagement surveys for which the feedback received is regarded heavily and actioned upon by higher management -young and engaged staff who are some of the brightest Austin has to offer -access to the vast GLG Library -countless opportunist for personal and professional development (e.g. learning seminars where they bring in professionals from Fidelity and Bank of America to teach you about 401K planning, buying a house for the first time, etc (which is very helpful for those who did not obtain a business degree).) -they provide you with your own touch screen Surface Pro, giving you the ability to work from home if you are sick or have to go on leave for family or health issues

Cons

-wait-list for the parking garage is 3+ years long -the facilities team will throw (literally throw) all of your stuff into a giant box if you leave it out on your desk at the Austin office. Not even your mouse pad is safe!!

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.
