      Pros

      - Strong "walking the walk" ethic of really treating your employees well and giving them enrichment and autonomy. - Came to work every day energized and engaged for highly complex, rewarding work with great people! - Great opportunity to seriously level up your skills, especially on the mighty ugc team I was on. - Genuine, honest, humble (now) and seriously talented coworkers and a truly lofty mission that always kept me motivated. - A generally strong adjustment to fully-remote culture amid uncertainty and a great new generation of leaders.

      Cons

      - Previous Engineering leaders had rather poor soft skills and consistently made me feel looked down upon and inadequate while trying to do everything themselves (not always well). My rating would have been much lower in the past. - Cultivated a "clique" of Engineers in the old SF office that hurt morale for MV employees, affected opportunities to work on high-visibility projects and reduced chances for promotion. - Poor managing of expectations around career advancement. - Some amount of knowledge/product "siloing". - Product and Design can be disorganized and lack cohesive vision.

      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.
