      Pros

      The work being done here matters to the larger world.

      Cons

      Some engineering leaders care more about shipping the absolute bare minimum as fast as possible and hitting arbitrary, poorly-defined milestones than they do about listening to anyone with ideas or opinions which differ from their own. Quality is an afterthought. No time is allowed for substantive, cross-discipline collaboration. And some engineers/managers are more inclined to rewrite their coworkers' code to match their own ideas for how to do things, less inclined to accept when something isn't "perfect," and disinclined to work together to define clearer definitions of done. Yet they expect others to wrap up as soon as something is good enough and chuck it over the fence to others without regard. This is one of many double standards. Things used to be much more collaborative here. What changed? When did people stop caring what others think?

      Thank you for your feedback and for leveraging our platform to provide it. I agree that quality should never be an afterthought. We should never compromise on quality. In fact, as you know We Build Quality is one of our principles and we should be doing all we can to ensure we are living by our engineering standards. To the extent you are comfortable, I would recommend leveraging one the of the many channels we have for surfacing your feedback in more detail. Those channels include engineering huddles, engineering slack, skip level meetings with people above you manager including a meeting with me. Thanks again! Hope we address these concerns soon. - Rodrigo Oliveira, Chief Technology 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.
