The work culture that everyone's looking for!

Business Outlook

Pros

I wake up excited to come to Glassdoor every single day. Having a game room, dogs everywhere, and kayaks for rent are awesome perks, but the people create a one-of-a-kind work environment. Friendly, motivated, and unique employees make this culture special even as the org grows. I'm thankful that I moved across the country after undergrad to work at Glassdoor.

Cons

-Am I saving lives or changing the world everyday? No. Are most post-grad entry-level roles? No. Am I challenged to aim high, work hard, and equipped to succeed with the opportunity to grow? Absolutely. -It is tough to transition to other departments. Only apply to be a Sales Development Representative if you think you want to work in sales.

Pros

Very simple business model that capitalizes on real trends in consumer behavior. Culture is extremely important. Feedback is constantly being solicited about the direction of the organization Support from marketing. The Glassdoor brand is everywhere which makes selling much easier

Cons

Feedback is always being solicited about the direction of the org (yes, that can be a con). Very competitive market of recruitment advertising. Most companies try to spend less on recruitment, not more. Aggressive growth goals
