Glassdoor reviews

- transparency, what we were all about - had once been a pillar quickly became the opposite, indeed. there was no communication around direction other than "we're a branding company now." not much of a plan for the company through these times but leadership clearly already had plans in the works. there was never a mention of layoffs once and 300 people were cut off from anything Glassdoor related within 5 hours! quite harsh, indeed - product innovation - in my 3 years being in direct sales, there was no product innovation. I had sold the same product each year. innovation actually became a new part of the GRIT culture but it seemed to be a few years too late as once a pandemic hit & recession was on the brink, our product was one of the first cut from client's budget --- overall, very curious to see how innovation is incorporated into future product plans because we saw minimal over the last 3 years - sales operations - books were finalized anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks in Q1. as the timer for quota started, books were far off from being settled. sales requests were rarely completed in timely manner... seemed like a lack of headcount and resources able to get the job done as the current SOPs team worked tirelessly day in and day out **what was a pro early on, Recruit Holdings, became a con. same parent company as Indeed, the writing was on the wall and we're seeing it all unfold a bit quicker than we expected

- Everything else. I say with so much regret how much I disliked working here and the negative toll it had on my energy and personal life. - Not a company to come in at the mid management role - no conversations about growth and future trajectory even from HR - Incredibly micromanaged and siloed work streams - these are two separate issues, but one in the same in they promote tactical and frankly boring job duties. Your job description is exactly your job with no potential to take on more expansive or strategic projects. - Did I mention micromanaged? You have very senior leaders pivoting data in tableau and making microscopic decisions that should be happening at a junior level. There seems to be very little trust in senior leaders to delegate and coach to truly have their teams grow. - All of these combine to create an environment where teams are siloed (no team or company wide bonding events) - I sat across a person for 3+ months on a different team who never said a single word to me. Again, not a team environment where people are friendly, open and easy to work with, making true cross collaboration tough and forceful. So who does succeed @ Glassdoor now? The MBA/ops crowd who can be particularly aggressive. Unfortunately since leaving, I've had several colleagues' friends and friends of friends ask for my input on potentially taking a job at Glassdoor post-offer or in late interview stage. With horror, I recoil and say no, to only hear that they too have heard the same thing across their network. That is a huge issue for the company and recruiting - the word of mouth that occurs after someone leaves. I see open roles on the website that have been open for months to a YEAR (including my former role). Unfortunately my experience is the average and not atypical.
