Thank you for taking the time to leave a review; I appreciate it! I agree; the people, culture, and benefits at Glassdoor are all top-notch. Glassdoor has heard the feedback about compensation and is in the process of rolling out several new updates to our Total Rewards package in 2022. I can understand the feeling of uncertainty about the future, especially with the number of changes we've seen over the past couple of years. I believe we have a strong vision for where we're going and am excited to see how it evolves. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts - best of luck in your future endeavors! - Cara Barry, C&C Director

Glassdoor Walks the Walk

Pros

Glassdoor creates a positive environment for employees to learn and grow. From leaders to individual contributors, everyone at this organization contributes to a culture of positivity, moral fiber, and transparency. I've never seen an organization more committed to maintaining its values and constantly challenging the status quo in pursuit of improvement. Leadership is very receptive to feedback and criticism and is constantly attempting to better the workplace for employees and improve the value delivered to customers. Not only does Glassdoor's leadership pursue radical goals around transparency within the products they build, but also the Company holds itself accountable to those goals within the inner workings of the organization and its internal communication.

Cons

At any organization, there is always room for improvement. At Glassdoor, I find that the biggest challenge is breaking the historical organizational mold to adapt to the new demands of a growing business. I often believe that while the organization is succeeding, the internal departmental structure is a step behind the needs of the business. In many cases Glassdoor's team structure lags behind industry competitors in terms of investing in business intelligence and data analytics resources. It seems that the Company needs to shed some of the start-up level infrastructure mentalities and transform its internal data and insights model into a more mature organization. I feel that teams often have to remain scrappy to aggregate and analyze data in order to make informed decisions when there are tried and true tools and corporate structures that work well to solve these types of problems.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback - I love the headline for this post, and might steal your line! Our mission is 'to help people everywhere find a job and a company they love', and that starts with our own employees. Your experience directly reflects our four core values - Transparency, GRIT, Innovation, and Good People - I'm so happy that you are on the team to help us continue to bring these to life. I agree wholeheartedly that we need to continue to adapt and respond to the changing demands of our business - especially as we pursue aggressive growth goals - and data is one of our most important enablers. In my time at Glassdoor, I've seen intentional efforts focused on improving data governance and infrastructure, but also acknowledge that we have more work to truly democratize data access. This is a huge focus for us moving forward and, as you've noted, we are always eager to hear feedback on where we can improve. Please reach out to Data@glassdoor.com with examples of where you / your team would benefit from more seamless access. Excited to have you on board for our growth journey ahead - it's going to be a fun one. Jon Hammer, VP Business Operations

Great Company To Work For

Pros

I absolutely love working at Glassdoor. I especially like that we are a company that doesn't just "talk the talk" we put in efforts to "walk the walk" as well. The leadership, working flexibility, culture, PTO, D&I, etc. are all aspects in which make Glassdoor great and I truly enjoy working here.

Cons

While we do have more of an extensive career growth plan, it would be nice to have more of an opportunity to grow. Barriers like "time in seat" really effect those who bring an extensive amount of experience to the role and almost a set back to grow like they should. Glassdoor is a place with an open door policy so I do know that the concerns have been heard and hopefully actions will be put in place for a more clear and open growth plan.

I am so happy to hear that the people, culture and benefits provided by Glassdoor are meeting your expectations and resulting in a positive experience. As you said, at Glassdoor we truly seek to 'walk the walk' when it comes to being a great place to work. In terms of career progression, our goal is to ensure that individuals are able to grow their careers at Glassdoor. That being said, I agree that we should continue to iterate on how we think about an individual's expected time in their role based on a variety of factors including past professional experience. Thank you again for sharing your perspective! - Rennie Taylor, VP Customer Success
