Pros

My first experiences at Glassdoor were amazing.. The people were incredible and made GD what they were. The office culture was also great.

Cons

Glassdoor's goal's quickly changed as we lost much of our main leadership.. The new CEO and leaders built a false sense of hope and always claimed to be transparent with us.. It is not very transparent that we were given a 30 minute heads up that we would be jobless.

I want to thank you for sharing your feedback. I completely agree that the people at Glassdoor are truly incredible and no doubt make Glassdoor the company it is. And I’m glad that was your experience as well. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic crisis had a drastic impact on our business, which forced us to make some really difficult decisions. I’m truly sorry we were in a position to have to say goodbye to so many talented individuals and that you were among them. The world has never seen a pandemic and crisis like that caused by COVID-19. As we saw this crisis impact our business, we endeavored to share this information with the company during our Monthly All Hands, where we did say that we’d seen declines across our business. I hear your feedback that you feel we gave a false sense of hope. That was not our intention and this feedback is something I will consider going forward. Glassdoor is still here for you and we truly want to help. Please stay in touch and let us know if we can help support you. 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.
