Overall GLG is a pretty nice place to work. I think a lot of the bad reviews have to do with certain bad managers and while you can blame the company for that, I would take those reviews with a grain of salt. As a whole, here are the pros: Great people. Flexible work environment if you are paired with the right manager. (Not everyone has this luxury.) Beautiful office space. Good benefits. Fast opportunity for growth if you prove yourself, whether it be promotions or opportunity to move to a different department or city.

Minpunten

Diversity! GLG is a company ran by priveleged white males who for a long time did not realize the need for diversity in the company’s management or even their associates. It is alarming and makes you wonder, how skewed is your view of the world if you live and work in New York City but do not hire diversely? How many lacrosse players from an ivy school can you hire? Think about it. The great solution to this issue is that management has hired a very smart and seasoned head of HR who has great experience and happens to be a woman. I hope she can fix this and I think she will, so there is some glimpse of this changing over time. Departments are not collaborative and feel like different mini companies within a large conglomerate. It would be great to know what people are working on and understand the different groups within GLG a little better.

Thanks for your review (and for your compliment). Like you, I’m optimistic about GLG’s future. Eight months in, I’m so inspired by the great people I’ve met. I’m also excited about many of the issues you’ve raised – increasing collaboration, evolving our hiring practices, and creating a more diverse workplace. Galaxy – our company intranet – is just the start, and there’s much more to come.

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!

Minpunten

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

Not applicable at all (truly)

Minpunten

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.
