Pros

* Great brand and awareness * Great prospects for growth and future success * Well managed overall; seasoned, experienced management team * Positive, supportive culture * Company walks the walk - given its mission to help you find the job and company you will love - Glassdoor needs to model that in order for its mission statement to be credible

Cons

* HQ location (Marin) can be a commuting challenge, depending on where you come from * You may consider this a "pro" but dogs are allowed in the office, along with the issues they bring, for better and worse * Budgets and staffing levels are tight, financial approval levels are relatively low, but this is somewhat normal given the stage the company is at (pre-IPO) - and on the flip side, the company is financially prudent and is driving toward profitability

You hit on many of the things that are top of mind for me for FY 2017: Hiring/Retaining great leadership that reflects Glassdoor values, product innovation, customer satisfaction, growth, and ensuring that Glassdoor is a company where employees love to work. It'll take all of us. Thanks for your review.

Pros

Excellent company culture, work/life balance and growth opportunities. I've never seen so much passion at a company. I've been here for over a year and I still think everyone drinks the kool-aid. People truly believe in the mission and the vision of Glassdoor and are motivated to go to work everyday.

Cons

As a pre-IPO company, there are a lot of growing pains, but we promote transparency across the organization so leadership is upfront and honest (at least as much as they can be). We are in a transitional year so there have been some challenges, but nothing we can't deal with.

Pros

I love this place. The culture, the people and the mission are all things I can really get behind. We just got great new executive management in place and I'm thinking positive about the direction Glassdoor is headed! I'm on the B2B Marketing team and LOVE the people I work with. We're a collaborative family who have each other's backs and it's extremely motivating every single day. It's an exciting time for the company and it's fun to be in marketing and see how the knowledge of Glassdoor for Employers is growing! Glassdoor is hands down the best job I've had and best company I've ever worked for!

Cons

We are experiencing growing pains, but this is normal for a company growing as rapidly as we are. I can tell sales is frustrated right now and I feel that pain on the marketing team, but I know the exec team is listening to the grumblings and working hard to make changes based on feedback. Our goals seem extremely high and somewhat unrealistic, but we always seem to get there!
