Pros

The amount of growth opportunity Glassdoor provides is amazing and the leadership truly values their employees. I was unfortunately let go due to COVID, but they handled the situation as best they could. Great culture and overall amazing place to work

Cons

Fear that it'll never be the same place to work at after the massive layoff. Culture will take a huge hit which was a big part of what made Glassdoor so special. Also, not sure if the new CEO is ready for the new role.

Firstly, thank you for your contributions to Glassdoor and for sharing a review. I’m glad to hear you felt valued and that you had the opportunity to grow during your career at Glassdoor. And I am deeply saddened and sorry that your time with Glassdoor was cut short due to COVID-19’s impact on our business. You will be truly missed. I couldn’t agree more that the people and culture are an integral part of what makes Glassdoor special and losing talented individuals, like yourself, will have an impact. Please know that nurturing a strong company culture and supporting our teams during these unprecedented times remain some of our top priorities. If there’s anything we can do to support you, please let us know. Glassdoor is here for you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

The people and the opportunities - if you were vocal and did the right things then you were afforded opportunities for promotion. The people were always the best part. Managers were rarely micromanaging people, if ever.

Cons

Pay was a bit on the lower side. Culture can be very different depending on who your manager was and who was on your team - could be good or bad. Some separations between Sales / Marketing / Finance / Product. Disconnects led to some major frustrations.

Pros

The vision of the company (Good People. Transparency. Innovation. Grit.) is something I believe we practice everyday at Glassdoor. Glassdoor has set the standard for me with respect to how I should be treated as an employee. The work is challenging, the compensation is competitive and the internal culture is very special. More specific to my role, I believe that the leaders in the sales organization have a genuine belief in our mission, and in the value of our products. It is inspiring to work with leaders who have integrity and consistently choose what is right over what is easy. Also, our sales operations department is responsive and smart.

Cons

There is more opportunity to support individual professional/personal development at Glassdoor. I appreciate the investment in organized sales tools, but there is a lack of freedom and resources for individual employees to achieve their own personalized growth strategies. At the higher level of the sales organization there is a lack of female representation in the single revenue contributor roles. The reason for this lack of representation needs to be acknowledged more openly at the company. See Advice below.
