senior business development manager

The office is nice with nice perks, a lot of great people work there, and the work itself is typical to any market research job: there are ebbs and flows. Some days I am working through lunch and some days I have one task the entire day. Management varies a LOT by team (I’ve liked all my managers but many are known as tyrants). 

The biggest cons are (1) the company is EXTREMELY unstable. Huge swaths of layoffs constantly. One guy I knew got fired 3 weeks after he got hired. And (2) research is not a priority for the organization (which can be both good and bad). But that means our tools are out of date and our budget is super small, so get used to 1% raises and very little opportunity for advancement. 
It’s a shame, because I actually like the day to day of the job and the people I work with. 

You will have the opportunity to experience multiple industries and working with very talented people, not just within the firm but also working with very smart, high-profile clients. Also, if you manage enough projects and communicate with your colleagues, you'll see what are the recent trends in the US and what top-tier companies are looking into. It's an exposure that likely most other companies cannot provide. But the work is very demanding as well, long working hours and you may feel these works are repetitive. 

I would not recommend GLG for anyone pursuing a growing career. They have minimized potential bonuses over the past two years, finding a way to pay people $20K+ less each year with no annual salary increases. Additionally, upward mobility is extremely limited. No promotion opportunities for remote employees and management heavily favors employees based in NYC/London.

I have been with the company for five years and am a top performer. The new c-suite has found ways to pay people less and incentivize staying even less so.

GLG was a good place to work after graduating, or if you are making a career change, however I fear they are a sinking ship.  At least 5 senior leaders at the company left within 3 months of each other, which diminished my trust in the new CEO and company as a whole. There was the expectation to be responsive to emails between the early hours of the morning until after 9 in the evening, even on weekends. Flex time-off was a great selling point, however metrics severely drop if you take any time off. Pay was not competitive. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The ease of being yourself and having the autonomy to expand within your position with the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing the gameplan and having the appropriate experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
open and fun yet not too imposing

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
energetic and upbeat . The team is always looking to put you in a great position to excel.

Overall, great job! Compensation is appropriate and depending on your team, great work/life balance with the 2 days in the office hybrid. 

The only con I would say is navigate the corporate BS you have to go through in order to get promoted. To climb up in your role, you either have to have a certain number of people advocating for you.. or enough people to have left. 

The senior associate program is an amazing step if you want to go into sales.  GLG was a great stepping stone into an awesome sales career.  Lots of negative reviews but I think there is a disconnect between understanding the senior associate role is primarily a sales role. 

I’d avoid this company if you are looking for something consistent and steady. If you want to hustle and not get paid overtime then this is a great place to start. High turnover and severe lack of communication and transparency from top to bottom

Very tedious workflow. Micromanaged from time of logging on until EOD. If you like every day to be goal and/or number oriented. Must be social and willing to talk to supervisor, coworkers, and others all throughout the day. 

Poor work life balance, unrealistic metrics. More importance placed on popularity than doing a good job. Micromanagement is rampant, as is favoritism. Healthcare and benefits are decent. Pay is a bit below average for similar roles.
