      Pros

      Great environment to work in. The people were helpful and supportive. Everyone I worked with in leadership was motivated and pulling the same rope. It was the best job I've ever had.

      Cons

      I was laid off due to covid. They had further layoffs in 2023. Glassdoor is owned by Indeed and when times are tough Indeed will always cut Glassdoor expenses first before touching Indeed. I know people who were layed off in 2020, were hired back, and then layed off again.

      Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that you had a positive experience working at Glassdoor, and even more so that it was the best job you’ve ever had. We have such a talented employee base here and it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to many of you recently. I think it’s important to clarify that Glassdoor is not owned by Indeed. Both Glassdoor and Indeed are subsidiaries of Recruit Holdings, and have a close partnership in terms of how we go to market with employers. While our decision to reduce our workforce was incredibly difficult, it was necessary for us to sustainably operate the business through what we expect to be a prolonged period of weakness for our industry. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. -Christian Sutherland-Wong, CEO

      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.
