Pros

I've worked at a handful of companies who talk about culture. Glassdoor is impressively committed to being a great place to work. People are friendly and smart. No surprise for a company that is built on transparency, but there is a great deal of transparency within the company. Regular all staff meetings with open Q&A and sharing of the good, bad and better. And people aren't afraid to disagree and debate. People really are committed to doing the right thing and that means there is a lot of open conversation and real-time feedback.

Cons

There is a lot about start-up life that can be frustrating. Some areas of the business are running very fast while others are a little behind. Things are out of synch in places and it's frustrating that we can't be as impactful together as we could. Yet. People work all hours, all days. But it feels more like a bunch of people working on good projects--and not pressure from a boss to work around the clock. And with unlimited PTO, you have the ability to manage your own life as you need.

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.
