Pros

Amazing people. I made some of my tightest friendships at this company. Glassdoor has amazing perks (catered lunches, amazing team events, gym access, crossfit, yoga, etc) and an awesome location on the water in Mill Valley.

Cons

As with all start ups, there are growing pains. A lot of the original culture-drivers left the company. Some middle management issues, but all in all, great company.

Great company, great benefits, good work-life balance, beautiful office. Overall a good experience and free catered lunch is a huge bonus.

Compensation is not great compared to others in the tech industry. Benefits are strong, but base pay seems to be fairly low for the Mill Valley/SF area.

Pros

There are many pro's about working for Glassdoor - strong leadership who is always willing to listen, great people - no ego's / everyone is constantly trying to help each other, talented support professionals, and lots of flexibility. We have big goals, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else besides here, helping us achieve those!

Cons

Things change frequently, so you do have to be able to adjust quickly. This is something you may have to get used to. However, now, I view this as a positive and enjoy how agile we can be.
