Pros

People Remote Policy PTO - if you can take it

Cons

- The company focus can and will change rapidly. The impact of this can directly impacting your work hours and mental health. - The rationale behind changes is not always clearly communicated, which leads to employee disengagement and confusion. - There is a lack of business focus and prioritization (or, if prioritization is happening it is not being communicated effectively). This leads to a massive amount of work to be done in absolutely insane timelines. - Burnout is rampant. 60% of our employee survey shows people are overworked. It's nice that they give us extra days off but we still come back to ton of work. Resources are lacking. - You are asked to always do more, burnout is part of life at Glassdoor and you have to accept it that you will not have work-life balance here. - We are losing ton of good talent, people see the writing on the wall that the future of Glassdoor is unstable. It's just a matter of time until they merge with Indeed and Indeed has been and will be calling all the shots. Glassdoor tries to retain people with benefits (RSUs, extra days off, etc) but there's so much you can do to keep people here.

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.
