The cherry on top!

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Being an HR Practitioner working in an HR Tech company is a dream; working at Glassdoor where our mission is to help people find a job and company they love is the cherry on top! The People team is transitioning to be much more strategic thought partners to the business, such a great time to be at a company when you can get your fingerprints all over a new way of working! All employees have direct lines of communication to the CEO and everyone in between. We have a super flexible work environment, amazing benefits, open PTO, 401k match...

Cons

2020 has brought a lot of changes (to the world) and to Glassdoor; we need to ruthlessly prioritize and focus. It's easy sometimes to get enamored by the bright shiny objects.

Changing - for the worse

Pros

1. People - the people at Glassdoor are great. I've really enjoyed everybody I've worked with and everybody is very genuine. The people are the biggest reason I stay at Glassdoor. 2. The mission - Glassdoor does have a great mission and everybody really stays aligned with that. Despite some of the other reviews, I think Glassdoor does try to find ways to improve the product although perhaps a bit tentative to take big risks

Cons

1. New leadership - Glassdoor is attempting to change. When I joined there was still quite a bit of opportunity for anybody to make an impact and that was encouraged. With our new leadership (excluding engineering and product) it seems that ideas are only able to come from leadership and otherwise your job is blindly deliver. We are more and more being told to stay in our lane. 2. Hesitancy - Glassdoor is too risk averse. There are no signs of big bets or radical changes. We are told that big things are going to happen or but nothing ever seems to be any different. Much like the new leadership its a lot of talk but no action. 3. Transparency - Simply put, I don't trust the majority of our leadership team. 4. Trying to be "Corporate" - Glassdoor is trying so hard to be like LinkedIn or Indeed that its walking away from its identiy and literally squeezing the life out of their employees. I'd be curious to know exaclty how many people would leave if given anohter opportunity. 5. Favoritism - This is a new con at Glassdoor and depends on the team. I used to think that our leader valued the team but in most recent months its seemed quite the opposite. If you're not somebody this person wanted/chose/hired/or in in their direct area of compentency your career is likely better off elsewhere.

We recognize that leaving feedback is not always an easy thing to do, and thank you for taking the time to write this review. Any company is only as strong as it's people, and to your point, Glassdoor exists because of the phenomenal people who work here, such as yourself. Transparency is our first company value for a reason and I believe that you will be encouraged by some of the ways we are going to make changes and take action this quarter as we start to walk the walk and go beyond just talking.

Overpriced hard product to sell

Recommend

Pros

Nice office and the people are friendly.

Cons

- Extremely high targets which are completely unreachable (people often end up cheating the system in order to hit targets - this cycle never ends) - The product itself is over priced and completely dated - Management wont allow anyone on the team to speak their minds and challenge them, if you do you're branded as "negative". - On boarding and training is far too short and condensed despite the sheer amount of new tools/systems one has to learn. - Lack of communication between upper management often led to confusion and distrust within the team as guidance was not always clear. - Work life balance is extremely poor, many SDR's were working overtime and on holidays to reach targets and push out massive amounts of volume to reach ridiculously high weekly KPI's set out by managers. - One of the lowest paying sales job compared with other Tech startups in Dublin right now.
