By far the best experience I have had with any employer from intro to on-boarding

Pros

The people I have met are bright, genuine, and very welcoming. I am not sure how they have managed to created such a culture of talented, sincere, and well-meaning individuals without a few falling through the cracks but they did and I am sooooooo here for it!

Cons

None that I can think of (and I actually spent time thinking). Maybe I am an outlier (most likely not but always good to account for this) but I can only speak for myself.

Pros

It's been quite a ride over the last 18 or so months, but it's really starting to feel like we've turned a corner. Growth is accelerating and momentum is building. I'm honestly feeling more energized now with our new vision and direction than I've felt in my last 6 years at Glassdoor.

Cons

Layoffs a year ago mixed with the COVID wfh situation has been a drag on morale. Looking forward to getting to see my amazing colleagues again when we're back in the office in September!

Thank you for your 6+ years as an employee of Glassdoor and for taking the time to write a review! I agree that our strategic direction is exciting and I was even more invigorated after seeing the Product Roadmap come to life in our most recent All-Hands. 2020 was absolutely a difficult year to navigate on many fronts and for many, like yourself, not being able to safely return to the office has been a challenge. We will continue to keep employees updated on our return to office plans and I encourage to attend our special All-Hands on Monday to hear our most current go forward plan. - Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer
