Pros

I made a few lifelong friends during my few years with the company. Everyone is truly committed to helping out their team members at all times. The benefits are 100% employer paid which is amazing. Compensation is pretty on par with the market and pays better than some companies in the area. Unlimited PTO is great and some added random paid days off other than holidays to let employees completely unwind. Great work/life balance and flexible working hours.

Cons

Within the past year, the entire role of the CSM has changed for the worse. Stale product offerings that are hard to showcase ROI, also lead to redundant quarterly conversations with customers. Since CSMs are not trained consultants, it is very difficult to create change within customer base to showcase value of the products. Training for this is also very surface level, again we are not trained in Change Management or how to recreate and showcase a company's Employer Value Proposition. Depending on who your manager is can change your growth trajectory - some managers care and are highly involved in development whereas some take a back seat then come time for performance reviews, have no case to help you get promoted. Culture within the CS org is very negative due to the amount of change that has occurred within the past year. Everyone is burnt out and the employee engagement scores show how unhappy everyone is. Some true Glassdoor veterans have left the company and leadership doesn't bat an eye. In turn, they voice that if people want to go do less work at another company, then that's that person's problem. Leadership confuses being busy with mundane tasks with being challenged. Once you learn the talk tracks, the job can essentially be done with your eyes closed. Your day-to-day is full of deck making and calls which is easy but keeps you busy with the account load. There has been no real challenge to the role once you learn the basics.

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.
