Pros

They really take their values seriously. Transparency is king at Glassdoor and its felt in every decision they've made. I never felt left in the dark or like there were resources the company was shielding from me. This is also great as a sales rep, I knew everything there was about the product I was selling and I could feel good about selling it. They never asked me to lie or twist the truth. Always honesty first.

Cons

Diversity could have also been much better. The Chicago office was pretty much a monoculture. Everybody was nice, but homogenous. I was a little worried when I first started. They need to broaden their employee demographic.

Pros

Glassdoor hires good people, has a flexible working environment and has a good mission

Cons

1. Little autonomy. Ever since the “partnership” with Indeed, we have lost all autonomy in our book of business. 2. Zero transparency or executive level support. The entire executive team seems to have zero idea what is happening in the go-to-market org 3. Continuous roadblocks to success. You’re not setting your sales reps up for success and you’re seeing people leave because they realize the workload is not sustainable. 4. Lack of diversity. I am the only POC on my team and one of the few in the entire sales org 5. Measurement. If you expect your reps to perform, give them quotas on time and transparency into how they are built 6. Collaboration. Properly define the roles and responsibilities between AMs/CSMs and the Indeed counterparts. It’s provides chaos internally and a poor client experience externally
