Pros

Glassdoor is an amazing organization that is going places. It is disrupting an industry that has been lacking innovation for years. The people are amazing, work culture is great, and the over all working environment is something all companies dream in achieving.

Cons

Read the reviews before this one. Glassdoor has an amazing culture where the people will become some of your best friends. The managers are here for you and will work as hard as possible in order to see you succeed. Unfortunately there is a little disconnect with upper management. When scaling a company, you need to figure out ways to cut costs and become profitable, that's a known factor. But, you don't necessarily do this by drastically lowering commission rates all at once, to the point where the new OTE seem unrealistic. You do this slowly or else you lose the driving force behind what makes your sales team operate; the though that you can make good money if you work hard. Suggestion for those thinking about joining the sales team: maybe wait for 6 months. Management is going to need to create a realistic comp plan that allows for contributors to make money. It will get done but may take some time. Maybe sit back and think about joining the back half of this year.

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.
