Pros

Co workers are the best! Some of the most amazing people I have ever worked with. Can't say enough great things about the people. Beautiful HQ office with good health benefits and free lunch. Nice to have dogs running around the office as well.

Cons

With so many changes and new upper management it has really put a bitter taste in the mouth of sales reps. Way under paid and unrealistic quotas. Glassdoor can be a hard sale because of content issues that reps have no control over. There are too many people on teams and it's not fair to managers. They are never around and to no fault of their own. They are asked to hire more and more as well as sit in endless meetings and do pipeline updates. Managers can't help reps to be strategic or help a rep to develop. New people that have been brought into upper management and jumped in without really knowing how our business worked. Feels like they really have no regards for people who came before them . Everyone feels like they are being pushed out in order to make more headcount for the new Chicago office where they can pay them less. They are getting very strict about WFH but with negative energy in the office and large egos reps don't want to come in. They just want to hit their number.

I agree that this team is made up of some of the best people I've ever worked with. These same people have built our success. But to answer your question, part of what's happened is a product of that success - more clients means more employees which brings more leaders and more offices, etc. We know the growing pains are real. Some of this transition is to be expected. But, some of it will require us to work together to be sure we protect the best of what we all know and love here at Glassdoor. I ask you to hang in there and help us continue to improve. As always, reach out to me if you would like to discuss further.

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.
