Pros

I joined Glassdoor 2 months ago and have no regrets at all. My new colleagues have all been very welcoming, supportive and clearly know what they are doing. Not just from my own office, but this includes people throughout the organisation - from the ones I met during the onboarding process in Chicago to my colleagues based in Dublin. Being in sales, the product itself is fundamental to the pride I feel at work and whether I see a career in an organisation or not. Since joining Glassdoor I have met multiple clients from a variety of industries and the huge majority have been extremely happy with the product and service delivered. For me, this is so important and fills me with confidence in the decision I made to leave my last company and join Glassdoor. I've personally experienced working for a company during its hyper-growth stage and loved it. My job now allows me to be part of a similar journey at Glassdoor, which is so exciting. It is truly a great time to be at Glassdoor!

Cons

Obviously, when a company is growing at such a pace then you will have growing pains and certain challenges. But to be honest that is what excited me about joining Glassdoor and what keeps my job interesting. Each day brings new challenges, but if your head is in the right place and you are prepared to work hard, then the satisfaction of genuinely contributing to the success of a business outweighs any negatives.

Pros

Glassdoor has come a long way in developing a culture where design has an equal part in high-level decisions. They're also developing a legitimate UX team that will help fully support these decisions. The Director of UX played a big part of this by taking a small but very talented team, and helped to not only strengthen the team as a unit, but created a productive cadence and encouraged everyone to communicate the value of design to every stakeholder. The knowledge and support I received from higher level designers was invaluable, and something I will bring with me and share with others.

Cons

The biggest frustration for me, was the lack of strategy and focus at the top level. This made it difficult for me as a decent UX designer to fully understand the main user goal for any product i was working on, as the scope of the project changed dramatically throughout its lifecycle.

Pros

The mission and people at Glassdoor are top notch. It's hard to find another company like it!

Cons

Not a whole lot of opportunities to switch to other departments. You're stuck in one career path, and it takes more time than necessary to move up in your designated path.
