Great Company and then It wasn't

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.

Amazing place to work, until the focus was lost

Pros

I genuinely loved working at Glassdoor. It was a special place for a long time. The early years were exciting, fast-paced and fun. There was real energy, autonomy and belief in the mission. I felt heard, trusted and able to bring ideas that actually shaped the business. However, over time, particularly post-integration with Indeed, that identity gradually faded. Strategy became less clear, decision-making slowed and the entrepreneurial culture that once made Glassdoor unique felt diluted. In many ways, this review feels slightly redundant, because Glassdoor no longer really exists as its own entity. The distinct brand, independence and magic that defined the experience have largely been absorbed into a broader structure, which changed what made it special in the first place.

Cons

Following the integration with Indeed, Glassdoor teams lost much of their autonomy and influence, with decisions increasingly driven elsewhere. The shift was immediate and noticeable. The entrepreneurial, collaborative culture that once defined the business became more hierarchical and sales-led, making it harder to innovate or maintain strong client relationships. Product progress stalled while targets continued to rise. At the same time, significant investment went into the community app Fishbowl, a non-revenue-generating tool, instead of strengthening core areas like employer brand, employee sentiment and AI-driven innovation. It felt like focus moved away from what actually differentiated and monetised the platform. Ultimately, the Glassdoor many of us joined simply no longer exists as its own entity, which makes reflections like this feel somewhat irrelevant.
