Pros

Fun environment. Nice people. Employees at all levels can submit ideas for change and it will at least be reviewed.

Kontras

GLG's leadership is male and white. There are only a handful of minorities that work there and choose to stay more than a year. There are no minorities in senior leadership in the US. Many women can be found in junior roles, but only a tiny fraction make it to the executive level. The work is repetitive and doesn't translate into hard skills. As other reviewers noted, you can learn how to do this job in 6 months and get good at it by a year. If you stay more than 2 years you make yourself less employable by the minute. The focus on hard metrics is too extreme and makes it feel like a call center. GLG started emphasizing L & D to address some of the negative feedback about lack of professional development, but all I saw was a chance to sit through an advanced Excel lecture. They have an employee survey every year that is supposed to be anonymous but really isn't. To anyone currently at GLG, be very careful about how you respond as your manager (and above) can slice the data real thin to see who said what.

While the company’s leadership certainly isn’t all male or white, we’re committed to doing better. As a global, values-based company, we recognize that diversity of background and perspective is paramount to our success. It’s something I’ve been committed to through out my career and I am accountable for building a diverse, inclusive workplace as the Global Head of HR. My team is proactively recruiting from wider candidate pools, and we’re demanding slates of diverse candidates as we fill senior roles. I’ll add that our metrics-based promotion system – which you may take issue with – enables a career development track that aims to be completely meritocratic.

Pros

Not applicable at all (truly)

Kontras

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.
