Glassdoor is on a roll!

Pros

Glassdoor is on a mission to help people find a job and company they love and they’re succeeding! This company is ALIVE and filled with friendly, energetic, and smart people who come to work every day feeling both empowered and accountable. I particularly like that the company models itself around being transparent, since that's what Glassdoor is all about.

Cons

The pace at Glassdoor is frenetic. If you can’t deal with change and a certain amount of unpredictability, this is not the place for you.

Glassdoor Response

Thanks for being part of our team and sharing this great review! The friendly, energetic, and smart people are exactly what motivate me come to work every day too. Glad you’re one of them!

Not a place for middle managers

Anonymous employee

Pros

You are pushed to bring your A game to work every day. I worked at Glassdoor for 2 years and in those two years I learned more than I did in other companies. They invest in their employees in different ways including training, time off, free food, gym etc.

Cons

I have mixed feelings about Glassdoor. This is not a place if you are in middle management and want to have vertical growth. Your chances are extremely low regardless of how you perform. You are pressured from the top to do more and at the same time from your junior staff who are mostly millennials and we all know how challenging they can be. On the other hand, if you want to learn and grow your skills, both functionally and personally, then this could be a great place to work for a few years.

Glassdoor Response

I appreciate your honest assessment of our career growth opportunities. This is something we’ve taken seriously this year and have since rolled out training programs to make sure everyone is aware of all the opportunities to further their careers here at Glassdoor. I’m sorry we didn’t have this formalized yet while you were part of our team. Wishing you all the best in your new job.
