Where is the leadership?

Pros

The acquisition ($$$) I am generally proud of the work I put out, despite serious lack of leadership within the marketing org as of late Flexible hours (good for families)

Cons

Transparency and company/team vision have gone completely out the window. This has been an issue long before pre-acquisition...we need a GLINT survey stat. Marketing leadership says that we "are more aligned than we have ever been" yet our QBR made it clear that it's not just my team that is getting insufficient direction and support from the top. Everyone is scrambling. Maybe leadership is just waiting for their check to leave. I'm coming up on a work anniversary and then I will be leaving. It's likely many others will do the same since no one knows what is going on.

Thank you for taking time to write a review and share your thoughts. Your feedback is something we take to heart. We know it’s important that you feel you can come to work and feel proud of your work output AND we know it’s important that you also get the kind of leadership that is creative, supportive, motivational and more. If you’re open to coming to share your feedback I’d love to hear from you. I’m not planning to cash out and leave anytime soon - that’s not the type of person or leadership team you have. We believe in the mission, vision and the strategic priorities we as a company and as a department set out to achieve earlier this year. Your leadership team is fully present and engaged - we’re here to build a great team and support the business. I’ll hope you’ll take the opportunity to share more feedback and be a part of the team that I think will continue to achieve some great things for those we aim to serve: job seekers and employers.

Pros

- I don't feel like I have to separate my work from my life... working at Glassdoor is just a part of my life and I love every single second of it. - I don't ever work more than 40 hours/week, and I get paid more than most people doing a similar job at other tech companies - Quota is extremely attainable, and once you exceed your quota get ready for VERY aggressive accelerators Long story short, Glassdoor fits my life extremely well. I'm able to provide a comfortable life for my family, while also being able to spend significant time with them.

Cons

- Historically hasn't been great training support for SDR's, however that is changing, as we recently added a SDR Sales Trainer to our team - Office is getting so big that its almost impossible to get to know everyone
