Pros

Glassdoor has given me the best friends and managers I have ever had. The Mangers and Directors really did believe in their team and made work enjoyable. I will forever be so thankful to have met these people. Christian, please do not take credit for giving me my friends with your canned review response.

Cons

The CEO and Senior Leadership team really left everyone in the dark of how much of a mess Glassdoor has been for the past 11 years. I'm very excited to see how the Indeed merger plays out. It is laughable how the CEO is blaming the layoffs on COVID. These layoffs would have happened regardless. COVID just sped up the process, so Christian can get a fat check quickly when it all plays out. Christian, you have absolutely destroyed Glassdoor's culture all within a 30 minute conference call. After you get your payout when the merger officially happen, it might be worthwhile to go back to a Leadership 101 course in college. Perhaps you could even learn a little bit from the amazing Managers and Directors you let go with no warning.

Pros

People: The people is the single most amazing thing about this company. Glassdoor truly hires the best and I have been able to foster so many amazing relationships during my time there. Culture: While there have been some changes recently, overall Glassdoor had an amazing culture with snacks, open concept office, and new technology to leverage. I didn't dread going into the office because I enjoyed my time there Work Life Balance: This job really allows you to have freedom into how much you put in and the ability to take time for yourself. I was always encouraged to take PTIO and work flexible hours based on my schedule

Cons

Leadership: There have been quite a few changes at the top levels of the organization and it makes you wonder if those have been for the better. Since the turn of the calendar year, it feels like every single month there was a large organizational change that has greatly affected the employees and the business strategy questioning what the future would be for Glassdoor. Transparency/Communication: This whole situation showed the true colors for a company that prides itself on being open and sharing the true inside happenings with a company. The last few months felt like something was hidden around every corner and the number of "political responses" we received on a variety of subjects was frustrating and disappointing.

Thank you for your feedback on your Glassdoor experience. Truly, the people at Glassdoor are amazing and I’m happy that you were able to foster great relationships during your time here. It’s true that there have been a number of changes in the company and while it’s natural that this impacts our employees and raises questions about Glassdoor’s future, I want you to know that I believe transparency and communication with employees and providing a clear understanding of our strategy is absolutely essential. I hear your feedback that we could have been clearer and this is something I will seek to learn from. Thank you for being a part of Glassdoor and for your impact! Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

Employees are valued and this can't be overstated. The company really stepped up for those of us who were laid off during covid.

Cons

Way too casual atmosphere dulls the business edge to nearly no urgency at all Leadership by committee slows decisions and projects are mired in early stages while everyone has a say in what happens next Overly complex business processes for a simple product concept
