Pros
When I started here a few years ago, we were a scrappy startup, flying by the seat of our pants, growing like crazy, and moving a million miles an hour. It was fun, but it was a mess. As someone who cares deeply about the success of this company, and about our mission, I'm really glad to see us being more measured, judicious, organized, and efficient. Also, when I joined, the product vision was controlled by a clique of the "OG" leaders who had been with the company since the very early days. As we've grown up, we've hired more outsiders into product leadership roles, and developed more of a diversity of opinions. When this change started, people were scared. But it's clear that having more smart people collaborating is making us stronger and smarter and more creative. I've never been more excited about the stuff I'm working on here than I am right now, and I've never been more optimistic about Glassdoor's future.
Cons
The transition to being a grown-up company has been trying at times. Even though we're changing for the better, change is always hard. And some people are unhappy about it (click the "Ratings Trends" link next to the star rating above -- looks pretty bad these days). The real turbulence is happening in the sales org and not product/engineering, so I can't really speak to it. On the tech side, we're humming. But churn/turnover, and a small, vocal group of unhappy sales people does take a real toll on everyone's morale.
