Worst job I've ever taken

Pros

- Fairly solid benefits with catered food, gym on site, cell phone stipend, 100% covered health care - Beautiful location in MV

Cons

- Everything else. I say with so much regret how much I disliked working here and the negative toll it had on my energy and personal life. - Not a company to come in at the mid management role - no conversations about growth and future trajectory even from HR - Incredibly micromanaged and siloed work streams - these are two separate issues, but one in the same in they promote tactical and frankly boring job duties. Your job description is exactly your job with no potential to take on more expansive or strategic projects. - Did I mention micromanaged? You have very senior leaders pivoting data in tableau and making microscopic decisions that should be happening at a junior level. There seems to be very little trust in senior leaders to delegate and coach to truly have their teams grow. - All of these combine to create an environment where teams are siloed (no team or company wide bonding events) - I sat across a person for 3+ months on a different team who never said a single word to me. Again, not a team environment where people are friendly, open and easy to work with, making true cross collaboration tough and forceful. So who does succeed @ Glassdoor now? The MBA/ops crowd who can be particularly aggressive. Unfortunately since leaving, I've had several colleagues' friends and friends of friends ask for my input on potentially taking a job at Glassdoor post-offer or in late interview stage. With horror, I recoil and say no, to only hear that they too have heard the same thing across their network. That is a huge issue for the company and recruiting - the word of mouth that occurs after someone leaves. I see open roles on the website that have been open for months to a YEAR (including my former role). Unfortunately my experience is the average and not atypical.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, we are sorry to hear that Glassdoor was not a great fit for you. One of our key priorities for this year is a focus on career progression and manager development to enable growth and development for everyone at GD but particularly the mid manager team. We also actively encourage all team members to get involved with cross functional teams and put their hand up if they have an interest in a project or area where they feel they can add value or take on new tasks that can assist in their career goals. We are truly invested in our managers at GD and have made many amazing hires over the last year. Unfortunately while it does not seem to have been your experience, we get alot of positive feedback about the "family" vibe at Glassdoor and take great pride in promoting this through events such as cross functional dinners with the CEO, our open door policy and focus on transparency and regular All Hands events.

We really appreciate your honest review and feedback. Please know that our HR team routinely reviews our structure around total compensation to ensure its competitive with the current market and we make adjustments accordingly for all employees. We also consistently review employee feedback on benefits and perks to ensure we're offering what our employees need and want per office. Aside from some of the great perks you've already mentioned, we've also recently rolled out our new defined career path levels in hopes of providing more transparency to employees about how to advance their professional careers here at Glassdoor, which can often lead to higher pay potential too. I hope this helps!
