The amount of growth opportunity Glassdoor provides is amazing and the leadership truly values their employees. I was unfortunately let go due to COVID, but they handled the situation as best they could. Great culture and overall amazing place to work
Cons
Fear that it'll never be the same place to work at after the massive layoff. Culture will take a huge hit which was a big part of what made Glassdoor so special. Also, not sure if the new CEO is ready for the new role.

Business Outlook
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.
