Very unprofessional experience. Definitely not a Tier one company. Very junior and inexperienced - mainly kids in their 20s. Below is a first hand recount of my recent interview experience with GLG. I wish this was a joke but sadly it's not. An hour prior to my ph screen the recruiter reached out to say she had a personal situation and needed to reschedule the call to the same time the next day. I agreed. When I logged into the Zoom meeting the next day at the time set I saw that the interview was scheduled to start 30min later than what was agreed. I emailed the recruiter but got no response. Therefore, I had to reschedule my personal appointment to accomodate the "new time". When the recruiter joined the interview she was 5min late and apologised. Ok. No acknowledgement of the fact that the interview was at a different time to what was confirmed. I then had an in-person interview scheduled with 2 hiring managers. On the morning of the interview I received a text from one of the hiring managers that he needed to reschedule. Ok. The interview was rescheduled for a few days later but would be via Zoom instead. When I joined the Zoom meeting only one of the hiring managers was present. I asked if the other hiring manager would be joining and was told "no" without any explanation as to why. The interview went fairly smoothly and I was told about the next step that I should be expecting. The following day, I sent a thank you email to the hiring manager which was not responded to. Then I emailed the recruiter which was again not responded to. I followed-up with her a few days later but again was met with deafening silence. It's been 2 weeks since my interview and needless to say I've been ghosted. The only consistent theme throughout the interview process was the lack of respect and professionalism shown towards candidates. If this is how GLG manage their client relationships then I'm not surprised by their diminishing market share. I feel that I was used to bolster their interview number and provide the illusion of "diversity" in their hiring process. I would not be surprised if they hire another young white male into the team. For an organisation in the services industry they should know better. Dear GLG, your hiring process is a direct reflection of your company culture, and your lack of professionalism shown towards candidates irrevocably tarnishes your brand. I previously viewed you as a legitimate organisation. Since my recent experience I realise I was grossly misinformed. I would never recommend anyone to interview for you or any businesses to solicit your services.

Be aware: GLG sent me an offer, I accepted, was constantly reassured about the offer and role & after a few weeks the offer was withdrawn due to team restructuring. Although the recruiter was extremely apologetic and told me this was of no fault of my own, this experience has left an extremely bad taste. Especially from a company that many of my fellow alumni work at. I declined other offers for this role, which I have now learned my lesson to not trust anything until you’re in role. I was extremely excited about this role - jumped through servers interview hoops. Interviewed with a VP, 2 SVPs and a Managing director. I connected well with the interviewers, the final interview being a panel with a presentation.

The interview process was very long and many technical questions were asked. Despite completing all the rounds, I was told after the last round that I do not possess the required skillset for this interview which was pretty funny because they already had my resume earlier, and should not have selected me for so many rounds if I did not have the required skillset in the first place
