Pros

Colleagues are bright, hard-working and generous.

Cons

- Unlimited PTO removed on 2/1/2020 as we are now hourly employees. - Horrible, non-competitive benefits. If you are considering a family, ask about family leave, laugh, and run away. - Lies and worst CEO ever

Pros

My first experiences at Glassdoor were amazing.. The people were incredible and made GD what they were. The office culture was also great.

Cons

Glassdoor's goal's quickly changed as we lost much of our main leadership.. The new CEO and leaders built a false sense of hope and always claimed to be transparent with us.. It is not very transparent that we were given a 30 minute heads up that we would be jobless.

Glassdoor Response

I want to thank you for sharing your feedback. I completely agree that the people at Glassdoor are truly incredible and no doubt make Glassdoor the company it is. And I’m glad that was your experience as well. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic crisis had a drastic impact on our business, which forced us to make some really difficult decisions. I’m truly sorry we were in a position to have to say goodbye to so many talented individuals and that you were among them. The world has never seen a pandemic and crisis like that caused by COVID-19. As we saw this crisis impact our business, we endeavored to share this information with the company during our Monthly All Hands, where we did say that we’d seen declines across our business. I hear your feedback that you feel we gave a false sense of hope. That was not our intention and this feedback is something I will consider going forward. Glassdoor is still here for you and we truly want to help. Please stay in touch and let us know if we can help support you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor
