Pros

Glassdoor is full of smart people who are dedicated to the company's mission. Our CEO keeps us updated on what is going on at the company through various channels. His transparency leads to a feeling of importance in the work you do and establishes a trust in those you work with. My team is the best! It is lead by someone who empowers us to be the best we can be. A trusting, caring culture has been created making it a pleasure to come to work.

Cons

The size of the company has become overwhelming. Growth is definitely good but along with it you lose the "family feel". Teams are segregated into their various rolls and it is very difficult to get to know others at a deeper level. Benefits have been superior to any others I have had at other places. This will change in 2018. I understand this is a necessary change in order for the company to accomplish their goals. Hopefully the changes will be made in everyone's best interest.

Pros

Honestly the best place I've worked at in my career to date. Incredible culture. Leaders drive hard but lead with compassion. People care about the mission and the success of the company and want to do what is right. And my team are some of the smartest people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Nothing really. We're still an early stage company and figuring stuff out. We're doing well but have a long road ahead of us to achieve our ultimate ambition of being the world's largest jobs site.

There are a ton of pros! I've been at Glassdoor for just around 2 months and it's been one of the best experiences I've had as a recruiter! The company is exciting and where we are going as a company is what gets me up in the morning! Very excited to be here!

Cons

None, I have been here about 2 months and haven't bumped into anything as far as Cons
