Pros

My time at Glassdoor was truly amazing! Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing opportunity for growth and to make some good money! Some of my best friends outside of work are my coworkers!

Cons

Due to COVID, 300 employees were laid off. This was hard to deal with, especially as leadership was ensuring us that our jobs were safe over the last 3 months. It is what it is though, still an amazing place to work!

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to write of your positive experience at Glassdoor, even though this is a tough time for you. I am so happy to hear that the people, culture, and opportunity for growth made Glassdoor a special place for you. As a leadership team, we have endeavored to be transparent about company performance through our monthly All Hands and other communication channels. Though, I must acknowledge we’re living in a truly unprecedented time. No one could have foreseen this pandemic or a crisis of this magnitude. In our recent All Hands, I shared with employees that we had seen remarkable impacts to our business due to COVID-19 and unfortunately we saw no signs of improvement, resulting in this very difficult decision. It has been incredibly painful to say goodbye to talented people due to the impact of COVID-19 on our business. I want to thank you for all you’ve contributed during your time at Glassdoor. I hope the connections and relationships you made at Glassdoor don’t end here and continue on. It was a privilege to work with you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

The people at Glassdoor at truly incredible. They do such a great job hiring inspiration leaders who really care about the success of their people. I always felt supported and never ran out of opportunities to grow.

Cons

Ever since the Recruit Holdings acquisition, a common feeling among many employees was, "Are we just going to get swallowed up by Indeed?". We were consistently reinsured by our CEO, Christian Sutherland-Wong that we serve different missions and will operate completely independently. Unfortunately, it feels like the massive round of layoffs was a convenient excuse for Glassdoor to merge with Indeed and our intuitions were correct . They got rid of our very best leaders, presidents club winners, and consistent quota achievers. That shows you where the future of Glassdoor is headed. Wouldn't be surprised if Glassdoor becomes a product Indeed sells soon. Not once did CSW prepare us for this blindside. It seemed as if we were weathering the storm, but out of no where he emotionlessly let 300 people go.

Thank you for your feedback. It has been heartbreaking to say goodbye to such talented and good people for reasons that are completely beyond their control and not for a lack of effort or performance. The impact of this decision on each and every person, while necessary to the business, still weighs heavily on me. I hear the disappointment you feel in me. I understand this. And I own it. I also hear your feedback that you feel blindsided by this announcement. I own this too and will seek to learn from this. I want to reiterate that Glassdoor continues to operate as a distinct company and brand, and our mission to help find people a job and company they love is more important than ever. Please accept my deepest thanks for all you’ve done and contributed to Glassdoor. Christian CEO, Glassdoor
