Pros

I really like working at Glassdoor and I appreciate the company culture. I think the company's leaders really listen to and support the employees. Overall I agree with the company mission and I have a sense that my work makes an impact in the world.

Previously zip-tiered salary was very poorly implemented, but I am seeing senior leaders making every effort to correct the mistake.

Pros

Glassdoor walks the walk! The company follows through on its mission by implementing transparency in the workplace. Leadership truly cares about its employees, listens, and incorporates feedback. I feel very fortunate to work here!

Cons

Some growing pains with the partnership with Indeed, and clients sometimes are frustrated that they still need to go to two different profiles to update, but hopefully, the process will be further integrated soon.

First, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'm encouraged by your sentiment of ""Glassdoor walks the walk."" Having been at Glassdoor myself for many years, this resonates with me as well. I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling seen and heard by the leadership group. Speaking specifically about CS, employee feedback is the key driving force behind how we focus our efforts in improving employee experience. Keep sharing and helping us be the best CS team possible! As for your feedback on our partnership, we've heard this from our teams and customers and it's the highest priority for Product. They are currently building the integrated experience so customers don't have to dual post and I, like you, am looking forward to being able to share a streamlined experience with customers. - Kira Dewey, Interim Head of CS

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad that you’re part of our incredible sales team and are having such a positive experience. You’ve listed many of the reasons that our company is great and I have to agree. The team is wonderful, the product is amazing and both are offered within a great environment. Reading between the lines, it sounds like “cons” have been addressed and I’m hopeful that our commitment to transparency enabled honest conversations about any challenges you experienced. Again, thanks for taking the time to share, and thank you for your contribution to Glassdoor! - Val Roush, Interim Head of Sales
