Pros

Great perks like free lunch, coffee, snacks, dogs, and a very fun culture.

Cons

For a company I spent last 2 years of my career working for with passion and dedication, the exit process left something to be desired. I worked as an Account Executive; when I fell below quota and voiced my concern, little to nothing was done to troubleshoot my performance. Instead I was put on a “soft” activity plan (make x number of calls, meetings, etc.), but was not told my job on the line. A month later, I was told that my last day at the company would be in 6 days. This appalled me as countless reps who have fallen below quota attainment have been put on a quarter-long plan to get them back on track. This was the standard as I had come to know it. The company I knew for the past 2 years was gone. It was a place where management had a pulse on the health of their team, making sure everyone was excited to be working there and more excited for the opportunities ahead. Now it has warped itself into a culture that takes exclusive interest in performance metrics, star performers, and working its teams to the bone with very little concern for their wellbeing. During my exit interview, HR informed me that performance plans at Glassdoor are not “policy” but a “best practice.” They (HR) told me that managers at our company have full discretion to terminate an employee if they aren’t a fit for the role and a performance plan wouldn’t have the desired effect. To say the least, this made me feel discriminated against, as I had seen this same situation (same people, same role, similar quota) treated in a different and abrupt fashion.

We appreciate your candid feedback and are sorry that you experienced frustration with how things concluded for you at Glassdoor. Certainly, we strive to ensure all employees are treated fairly. Sales is not an easy job. While sales performance is largely measured by activity, results and consistency, it's also determined by things that aren't as tangible. Glassdoor HR is there to ensure that any management decisions are made carefully and objectively. We’re sorry this didn’t work out, but hope you gained some valuable experience and good memories during your time at Glassdoor. We wish you great success in your next venture.

Pros

The team is strong and there have been good relationships formed in the sales team. Autonomy is available in your role, given that the numerous reports are completed weekly. Office location is good as well

Cons

Too much administration and company meetings done weekly to run an effective book of business Micro management is peaking through Being a UK entity of a US business, you are a second thought to their needs and demands and focus is not given entirely to growing pains in a new market The product is a 'nice to have' vs a necessity Still no benefits - after years of requesting Career Progression is slow for a start-up

Thanks for your review. It’s clear we really missed the mark for you. To your point, we do have a very talented team in London and it’s great to hear you formed good relationships with the team — they’re one of the highest performing in the entire org, so I hear you on the pressure. I encourage you to reach out directly to me or the team to help clarify your needs. We’re a close team and all work very hard to continue to advance Glassdoor, keep up with our exponential growth and develop together. Our CEO recently visited London and shared the vision for next year and the UK is a focal point. You are a local leader and I encourage you to please share your voice and ideas with frequency. It’s always welcome. Thank you, Director, Glassdoor EMEA
