Pros

There are great people in the company and the salary, benefits and personal time are hard to compete with. If company branding is your passion, this may be a suitable place for you.

Cons

That said, all of the perks and salary offered are so good because the actual work and company itself is quite bland. Since Covid there has been more work but no hiring. There has been a lot of attrition + degradation in the senior ranks and very little focus on building out team to actually achieve the ever-changing goals of the company. Career development is a non-starter. Avoid joining if you have options.

Pros

I recently started my career with Glassdoor in sales and it has been an amazing and welcoming experience so far! From my manager to my team and senior management, they have all extended so much help and have made my transition a lot more smooth. I could not have asked for a better team and manager! A great first experience so far!

Cons

The training was a bit overwhelming but then again, it was packed with a lot of information and that's a sign in the right direction suggesting that sales reps are supposed to be equipped with a lot of knowledge about Glassdoor's products. There was a lot of effort put into the onboarding process and that must be taken into consideration when judging the "overwhelming" aspect. Great team, great company, great manager, and no cons that outshine any of that.
