Pros

- Great environment to work in - Mostly enjoyable people - Good benefits - Daily lunches - In building gym Overall a pretty decent place to work.

Cons

In a transition period trying to become a bigger player in the jobs and recruiting markets which leads to canned projects on a whim. The company uses a top-down approach to many projects in order to get buy in. There also tends to be an excessive amount of planning that leads into a shortened time frame to complete your goals.

Pros

This is hands down the best company I've worked for (and I have worked for companies featured on our BPTW list). I'm surrounded by smart, motivating and wonderful people each day. I have a manager who has helped me grow more in the past year then I thought I ever could. As you can see in just about every recent review, yes the road is bumpy right now. But, I do genuinely believe management and leadership is fighting to make it right. It's hard to see GD as a start-up but we are still adapting to this hyper growth and I'm trying to be patient with management as they pave the road ahead. There are some absolutely amazing leaders and mentors here at Glassdoor. As we grow as a company, current employees are being given a unique opportunity to learn and test their own limits.

Cons

Every review before this has mentioned the issues with compensation and quota. It's been really challenging on the growth side. Because we're Glassdoor, cultural transparency is king. However, when it comes to logistical and operational transparency that's where things get grey and where honestly, I don't think there is any. Communication continues to be a roadblock. Changes will happen and teams will have to wait weeks to find out really critical information like who their manager will be and what accounts will land in their name for the next quarter. It's hard to charge ahead with confidence when you feel like you're being left in the dark with little consideration form leadership.

This feedback is really important to me, thank you for being so detailed and clear about what you value here and what you’re seeing that can be improved. As you know, we’ve put a premium on making sure compensation is fair and quotas are right this year. While I don’t think we’re there yet, this is something we’re focused on and comments like yours keep us honest along the way. Thank you for being a culture champion and supporter of our team. If you feel comfortable, my door is always open to talk about this in more detail.
