Trauma bonding with some of the nicest and hardest working people.

Desventajas

Avoid and heed every single warning on here about this shambles of a company who have been around since 1998 and are still completely inept at understanding the market they operate in. This is a company who are set up to fail from the top down. They claim to be market leaders but they are absolutely delusional. Your work is based on ridiculous KPIs, you can spend hours if not days working on projects only for a client to turn around and say the project is closed or paused. The hours of work you put in are then completely redundant. This happened multiple times a day/week, even if you do find amazing experts more often than not the client will pass these names on to cheaper and more efficient competitors leaving you with nothing. Having GLG on your CV means absolutely nothing, skills aren’t transferrable as you are essentially working in a glorified cold calling centre. There is little to no understanding from the top down on how hard it is to complete hours of work only for the client to drop out and for you to have to explain why you’re not meeting KPIs. Managers are clueless and the team you get assigned to will make or break you. Everyone is out for themselves and if you can be thrown under the bus you will be by team leaders. Everything stinks of incompetence in every area of this company. The false sense of importance GLG possesses is laughable. No paid over time even if it means working 2/3 extra to accommodate overseas clients. Be prepared to be chained to your desk in order to survive here. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Friday huddles are just a chance to play the “we’re all happy to be here” card but the atmosphere is toxic times ten.

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!

Desventajas

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Ventajas

The trauma bond nature of this job does bring you to meet those people who can go on to be real friends. If you want a job to be your social circle, GLG is just the place for you. Some of the health benefits are well worth it and far above industry standard.

Desventajas

There is not a single aspect of the company that has not depreciated in some noticeable way over the past three years (since Gemma took the helm). - Amenities have been stripped in every office (if your office is lucky enough to have survived) without any meaninful replacements. Multiple lunches a week have turned into pizza parties, but only when internal systems break. All US offices are failing for unique reasons. - Pay has increased unilaterally in the US twice in five years, once solely through a massive reorg and realignment of role scope. Raises are now tied to highly tiered (and capped) performance evaluations. Bonus schemes shift every year to remove payout at all seniorities, and the changes are not communicated in a forum where questions can be asked. - Technology integration has been haphasard at best and destructive at worst (e.g., AI tools cannot meet basic compliance requirements for tier 1 clients at go-live date). - Senior Leadership has not had a single 30-day period go by where the full Global Head+ org has stayed the same in nearly three years. Middle management has become almost entirely EMEA-based or EU citizens as they could not be laid off unlilke their US counterparts. - Organizational structures have collapsed, with senior leaders managing multiple mismatched groups of functional or client-facing roles, either in the name of cost savings or because someone saw double-digit growth for an entirely different segment over a decade ago. - Financial health, strategy updates, and company wide updates are effectively done. Any company- or BU-wide meetings are chances for internal PR; this also explains why they stopped doing them in-person (including when they're done on in-office days). - Resource allocation prioritizes those who already have them (e.g., more SVPs went on a President's Club trip than Managers, following only Senior Leaders in headcount). - ERGs are functionally dead, with stale group chats and programming locked behind whoever was the last person on an eboard years ago. Hiring diversity has plummeted and the organization is failing to attract talent that even understands what the job is (let alone could be considered top talent for it). Every day at GLG is another day figuring out what can be squeezed every so tightly further.
