Pros

Really down to earth and friendly co-workers

Cons

Lots of politics and bad work culture from the Indeed side filtering into GD. It feels like Indeed has the final say over GD people. The Indeed work culture was too toxic and they have poor communication. Hard to get anything done here. The company says it's about transparency, but in my experience, it was the opposite of that. I was hired for one role, but right after I started found out my role was something else. I am still not 100% sure if the information was hidden from me during my interview process, or if the business needs had truly changed after I was hired. If I had all the facts during my interview I would not have left my previous role I was at for 2 years for and loved. HR also doesn't really care. They stopped doing exit interviews - I've never seen anything like this.

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.
