Pros

The people are truly awesome. Everyone has the opportunity to thrive and get rewarded for doing so.

Cons

Aside from the Chief Sales Officer, there is no clear direction/confidence at the top of the org. Strategy has been changed several times. Company is lead by a CEO with zero experience who is unqualified to lead a company through a pandemic. He came from Linkedin and has a Harvard Degree, which is what got him the job.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for your contributions to Glassdoor. The people at Glassdoor are truly awesome and I’m glad to hear that was your experience as well. I hear your feedback that you feel we could have done better communicating throughout this crisis. Transparency is something I truly value, and I will seek to learn from this. Please know that I and the leadership team have been focused on giving regular updates about our business through our monthly All Hands and other channels. This unprecedented pandemic and its economic toll has had an incredibly swift impact on our business that we could not have foreseen. It truly breaks my heart to see such talented individuals leave Glassdoor. Thank you for all you’ve done for Glassdoor. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

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.
