Collaborative culture, ability for high impact

Business Outlook

Pros

Glassdoor's culture is very collaborative with great people. There's a high level of autonomy and trust to make an impact. Love my coworkers and miss being in the office together!

Cons

Like most companies right now, burnout is high. Leadership is addressing with company days off and managing expectations and workload. Indeed partnership is great and tough at the same time. Partnership has been successful and seeing the business impact. Tough because Indeed has a different culture and is much larger than Glassdoor, so often hard to make progress and fight for what Glassdoor needs.

Pros

The people at Glassdoor were the best of the best. The culture was extremely collaborative, inclusive, and enabled us to grow. I learned so much from my manager and director and am still in touch with many of my collegues and mentors even as we approach the 1 year mark of the massive lay off.

Cons

Transparency The company yielded this as one of the highest core values and they lied to us until the very last week before the lay off. The upper management (Christian and comrades) had extremely poor leadership during a very difficult time. It seemed like COVID was a cover up for the lay off when it's really that Glassdoor is being more absorbed into Indeed than before. It's sad because it was such a special place.
