Pros

In a recent company all-hands, our CEO (Christian) presented some bold ideas that are truly exciting and innovative. It feels like we believe in something again, and want to positively disrupt the global workplace. It seems like our leaders are not only asking a lot of questions but are actively listening to what the employees are saying and I'm optimistic to see how they respond to what they hear. The people and managers at Glassdoor care so much. It is no surprise that one of our core values is good people because that is who we are and those are the types of people I get to work with.

Cons

These bold ideas are only as good as the execution, and this is something Glassdoor hasn't been especially strong at over the last couple of years. The product ideas sound great, but until we are using and selling them, they are just another idea or failed strategy because of poor execution.

Pros

Positive culture - Glassdoor management and employees are down to earth and respectful, it's the kind of place where you can "bring your true self" to work. Company sets clear goals and objectives and management works to get all departments on the same page all pulling together. Company is on a new track to focus its business on the providing meaningful insights and analytics to customers, there will be a lot of opportunity and interesting projects for people that are able to help make this happen.

Cons

Recently have gone through a necessary business reorientation, company is still trying to get its footing. Challenging business environment, working to get back to previous levels of revenue growth; this will take some time and hard work with payoff uncertain at this time.

Pros

Reason #1 to work at Glassdoor is the People -- my colleagues are the type of people who make me excited to come to work and solve problems collaboratively. I genuinely enjoy the people I work across all departments. Reason #2 to work at Glassdoor is the Mission -- Glassdoor enables the type of transparency that helps people find jobs they love and, in turn, improve their lives. Glassdoor employees are united in this effort and, personally, I feel a strong connection to this mission. This is noble work to be doing, now more than ever. Reason #3 to work at Glassdoor is the Future -- Glassdoor is the leading platform for workplace transparency and employer branding. As the world becomes more transparent, and job seekers continue to expect information about potential employers before they accept a job offer, I fully expect that our value to both employees and employers will only continue to grow.

Cons

We experienced significant layoffs just two months ago, and are in the thick of a substantial restructure as a result. To say it is an unprecedented time in Glassdoor's history is no understatement. Things are changing rapidly, and not in the normal "startup" way. We've been asked to bring a new level of adaptability to work each day, and not every type of person is up for this type of work. There's a long and winding road ahead so if you do join us, buckle up and bring your best.

Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. It's your willingness to share that helps Glassdoor grow and evolve. It's great to hear that Glassdoor's people and mission are such a highlight for you while working at Glassdoor. We believe that as the world continues to embrace transparency, Glassdoor is positioned to be a leader and it's good to hear you share that belief. As a result of COVID-19 and the economic conditions that followed, the entire world has gone through many changes over the past few months. Glassdoor has too and we've certainly felt this impact profoundly. Sadly, Glassdoor was put in a position to make some tough decisions resulting in many talented individuals leaving Glassdoor too soon. It's always our hope to set everyone up to succeed and ensure everyone has a clear understanding of our company strategy and it's encouraging to hear you feel this way and we'll be very focused in the coming weeks and months to do our best to support our teams to ensure they also feel this way. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and your commitment to Glassdoor.
