How does Glassdoor's executive team sleep at night?

Pros

Glassdoor was a great place to work for a long time, but it turns out the old saying "all good things must end" is very true here.

Cons

For a company selling products to help other company's with their employer brand, Glassdoor's brand is trash. They told us every day "we are fine" "you don't have to worry about us cutting jobs" then one morning we all get a random meeting on our calendars, the CEO tells us this was unavoidable and we are laying off 300 people, then he answers absolutely NO questions about the layoff, ends the call leaving everyone waiting 20 mins to find out if they have a job or not. The way Glassdoor handled this will be a stain on their employer brand for a long time. You showed no integrity when letting 30% of your workforce go and a complete lack of empathy is apailing. Try harder, we deserved better.

I am glad to hear that the people and opportunity for growth at Glassdoor made a positive impact on your experience. I agree, the people are what make Glassdoor a really special place to work. There aren’t enough words to tell you how very sad I am to see talented team members, such as yourself leave Glassdoor far too soon. We are still here for you and if we can help you in anyway, we hope you won't hesitate to reach out. Thank you, truly, for all your contributions to Glassdoor. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

- the people, bar none. this was what made Glassdoor unique and often times when I thought I could see myself leaving, the relationships, people and culture kept me there - upward mobility - there was great opportunity to move up within the org if you're performing, indeed. - benefits + reward - with upward mobility came comp increase and exceeding quota was quite generous and appreciated. benefits were also a perk

Cons

- transparency, what we were all about - had once been a pillar quickly became the opposite, indeed. there was no communication around direction other than "we're a branding company now." not much of a plan for the company through these times but leadership clearly already had plans in the works. there was never a mention of layoffs once and 300 people were cut off from anything Glassdoor related within 5 hours! quite harsh, indeed - product innovation - in my 3 years being in direct sales, there was no product innovation. I had sold the same product each year. innovation actually became a new part of the GRIT culture but it seemed to be a few years too late as once a pandemic hit & recession was on the brink, our product was one of the first cut from client's budget --- overall, very curious to see how innovation is incorporated into future product plans because we saw minimal over the last 3 years - sales operations - books were finalized anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks in Q1. as the timer for quota started, books were far off from being settled. sales requests were rarely completed in timely manner... seemed like a lack of headcount and resources able to get the job done as the current SOPs team worked tirelessly day in and day out **what was a pro early on, Recruit Holdings, became a con. same parent company as Indeed, the writing was on the wall and we're seeing it all unfold a bit quicker than we expected

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. It’s much appreciated. Glassdoor is the company it is because of its people and I’m really glad to hear that you felt you were able to grow in your career and felt rewarded for the contributions you made. Glassdoor thanks you! Transparency is not just the basis of Glassdoor’s culture, but also our business. Please know transparency is something I take very seriously and I believe it is a standard we should always hold ourselves to. The world has never seen a pandemic or the economic crisis like COVID-19’s spread around the world has caused. We did aim to provide clear updates on our business through our monthly All Hands and by sharing that we’d seen significant declines in the health of our business, but I hear you feedback that we could have communicated more clearly. This is something I'll be mindful of in the future. I hope you know we are still here to support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Christian CEO, Glassdoor
