Drained and Confused - SMB Sales Glassdoor Employee Review

Thank you for the feedback. Internal promotions are a huge part of coming to work for Glassdoor, and in sales in particular, they are based pretty purely on performance. We will take into account intangibles like how much a salesperson helps their peers, or tries to make their team more successful. But we are a very results-driven company and have no tolerance for favoritism. I'm really sorry if you experienced something else, and I would really like to hear the details if you are willing to share them with me. It's not congruent with our culture. On the news in Chicago - I think you are talking about the fact that we are partnering with Fooda to provide lunch options to people, rather than providing catering. Our intent is to provide easy, affordable grab-n-go lunch in the lobby of the building until the various restaurants that will be moving into the building are finished. I'm sorry if you feel duped, but truly - if you chose to work at Glassdoor because of a particular lunch program, you are in the wrong company. We want people who are passionate about our mission and want to grow in a fast-paced environment. Finally, you are right, I made the conscious decision to let my head of facilities address some of these questions. It certainly wasn't because I was hiding - I was literally standing beside him. It was because we believe deeply in empowerment and ownership. This is his world. He owns the messaging, the decisions, and the communication around them. I'm always here if you want to ask me something. But I think it's very important that our leaders lead, and that I make space for them to lead. That provides for the growth which is so critical for success at Glassdoor. Thanks - robert
