Pros

Glassdoor is an incredible place to work! The company actively listens and reacts to their employee's feedback. In the past couple years our benefits have been completely overhauled and they are currently amazing. Pay is great too. Awesome people all over the company and simply incredible work / life balance.

Cons

Some of the technology is fairly outdated and clunky, but the teams are working hard to modernize.

This is really great to hear, thanks for sharing! Glassdoor really stepped up their game recently on the compensation and benefits front and it’s great to hear the positive feedback. As you mentioned, our engineering team has made a lot of great progress modernizing our tech stack over the recent years. As with many fast growing tech startups, we have some cruft from the early days that we need to continue chipping away at. More importantly, we’ll continue to use modern tech going forward for all of our new products and services. Developer experience will continue to be a priority for us, and we’ll continue to invest heavily on that front to make Glassdoor a great place to work as an engineer. - John Stearns, VP of Engineering

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.
