Pros

It's been quite a ride over the last 18 or so months, but it's really starting to feel like we've turned a corner. Growth is accelerating and momentum is building. I'm honestly feeling more energized now with our new vision and direction than I've felt in my last 6 years at Glassdoor.

Cons

Layoffs a year ago mixed with the COVID wfh situation has been a drag on morale. Looking forward to getting to see my amazing colleagues again when we're back in the office in September!

Thank you for your 6+ years as an employee of Glassdoor and for taking the time to write a review! I agree that our strategic direction is exciting and I was even more invigorated after seeing the Product Roadmap come to life in our most recent All-Hands. 2020 was absolutely a difficult year to navigate on many fronts and for many, like yourself, not being able to safely return to the office has been a challenge. We will continue to keep employees updated on our return to office plans and I encourage to attend our special All-Hands on Monday to hear our most current go forward plan. - Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

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.
