Pros

Glassdoor is a company full of supportive people - while some companies say they have a "no-jerk" atmosphere, we really do. Very flat organization, which makes you feel like you have influence. Extremely collaborative environment. A meaningful mission. Finding a job can be very stressful, and ending up in the wrong company is even worse.

Cons

While we have grown past start up phase, we still have some growth areas in order to truly build for scale. We tend to be fiscally conscious, and don't always invest in benefits like professional development or educational assistance programs.

Pros

I am so thankful for all the amazing people I work beside everyday! The people in the Enterprise Sales & Customer Success department are some of the most genuine and fun coworkers I've ever had. There is also a lot of great knowledge sharing between peers, which makes work more enjoyable and interesting. There are many pros to working here including: - managers that treat you like a real human - they really try to be good managers! - a lot of autonomy to manage your book of business / client interactions - flexibility to work from home a few times per month - ability to work on projects outside of your immediate role that interest you - cute workplace events that happen at the office (eg. hot chocolate bar during the holidays, drag queen bingo during pride week, etc) and a great Workplace Experience team

Cons

The direction Glassdoor is taking seems unclear to me, and the lack of innovation is concerning. The product team does not listen to what the customers are asking for or excited about. It seems like directors and VPs are focused on reorganizing how the company works internally more than focusing on innovation. There are constant shifts in KPIs, org structure, and quotas that make everything seem arbitrary. This year, the CSM leadership changed the metric which 70% of our bonus is paid out on, and gave us no way of tracking our progress to reaching that quarterly goal! I appreciate change and trying new things, but it's really concerning when your pay is affected by changes that you can't track. With all the org changes come lots of internal meetings that managers are always stuck in. It seems like instead of being on the floor with the individual contributors, managers/ directors are constantly in strategy meetings. Besides team meetings and 1:1s, there is very little involvement/ personal connection between leadership and individual contributors. A lot of first time managers/ directors. Lastly, we use a data tool to create custom presentations for enterprise clients that barely works. Our systems are so out of date, that it takes 15 min - 2 hours to download a custom report for a client. This drains a lot of time, and creates frustration.

Dear Glassdoor CSM, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - sorry it has taken me a little while to reply. It’s great to hear that your experience with your colleagues and Manager at Glassdoor has been so positive - I do think this is something which sets the CS organization apart. As our business evolves, I agree with you that product innovation is critical. There’s a strong understanding of this within Product and they have set an aspiration of making two significant releases each year going forward. It’s certainly important for Product to maintain a strong connection to the customer experience and I do think these linkages could be improved. I'm talking to our CPO about how we might approach that. I can see how making changes to CSM KPIs could be tiring and while I believe there is still room for our metrics to be enhanced, I’m mindful of “change fatigue” and understand the desire for greater consistency. I know that reporting is a pain point for CSMs which has taken time to address - Sales Ops recently deployed new reports to CS Managers which we hope will help, but it’s early days and we would welcome your feedback on the sufficiency of what has been deployed. Sales Insights have also launched a multi-period effort to improve tool performance and are trialing new automated reporting which could significantly reduce the need for manual deck building in the second half of the year. I appreciate your perspective on the importance of making time and space for personal connections and I think we could all do with fewer meetings. Within the CS leadership group, we’ve been actively working on investing more time in connecting, coaching and supporting our teams, but I think we still have a ways to go. I hope you’ll keep us posted on how we’re doing. Chris, VP Customer Success
