Glassdoor Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review, we really do appreciate it. I agree there are a bunch of great people here which makes working at Glassdoor a lot more fun and rewarding. Your point about compensation isn't wrong, but personally, I feel that that is more than made up for by a really healthy work/life balance and being able to work on broad, impactful projects. Employee growth is also something that we do encourage, but generally, we do lean on the employee to lead this; perhaps we should be more explicit and encouraging about training/educational opportunities and options for lateral moves around the company to get experience. Thanks again for your feedback! - Tony Hawke, Director 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.
