Pros

Glassdoor is a great place to work. Despite the fact that company grew up drastically since the time it was founded, the company keeps start up spirit with all advantages and disadvantages. 1. The biggest advantage of the company are people that work here. 2. Another important advantage, at least for me, I can really make an impact on the product. 3. Our product has positive impact on people's life by helping them to find jobs and companies they like.

Cons

1. Company has start up mentality, so some process are a little bit messy and unorganized. 2. Top management is trying to do a good thing and raise a problem of diversity and inclusion, but it feels like there is more concentration on hire new people instead of making a place comfortable for existing one

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Glassdoor. We're very proud of maintaining our startup culture, and our great people are the lifeblood of our company. Our "get things done" culture does go along with a little less focus on organizational processes, but we are working on improving this whilst not taking away from our startup ethos. I'm sorry that you feel that there is more of a focus towards hiring new people, but I do encourage you to talk to your manager about this. We try to focus on all our people, not just those that are new. - Shane O'Grady, VP of Engineering

Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience! We're glad to read that you've encountered people of high character during your time here, but regret seeing that your work/life balance has come up short. As outlined in our December All Hands, all employees will be receiving a full week of PTO over the holidays, and we hope it is utilized some well-deserved recharging. Additionally, we encourage you to work 1:1 with your manager, or email people@glassdoor.com to learn more about the time off resources available to you. - Mark Batke
