Terrible place to work

Pros

Teammates are passionate and smart. I've built great friendships at the company and learned a lot.

Cons

Management is clueless and does not practice what it preaches. With the new leadership, things have gotten worse. There is little to no innovation, the culture is written and repeated but not followed and there is no transparency anymore. The other reviews elaborate on this accurately.

Pros

* Great people - i know cliche - but love the tech pool and challenges we solve everyday * Right level of empowerment and accountability! * Great values and benefits!

Cons

If I have to nitpick - would say as orgs have grown, it has created a bit of silos across B2B and B2C orgs.

Pros

Glassdoor is a great company to work for. We have made strides as a company to be more transparent and lead the radical transparency movement. We have made numerous improvements to our own culture to be role models for other companies. I love the flexibility and support that has been given during this unprecendented times.

Cons

There aren't too many cons to share. The biggest one would be learning about new things earlier in the process. Some changes take us all by surprise.
