Thank you for taking the time and for sharing your perspective as a Glassdoor Finance alumni! It’s great to read that you felt surrounded by great people and embraced the culture here at Glassdoor! And thank you for being transparent around cons. We do try our best to live up to our goals of having a sustainable work life balance. Which for the most part works well, but I agree we have times where we need to work longer hours to meet our Finance deadlines / seasonal demands. It's one of our top priorities to drive continuous improvements to better navigate the high volume peaks. I hope you continue cheering us on from the sidelines! - Mirko Hallenberger, VP, Head of Finance

Pros

Glassdoor is the best company I've ever worked at. The commitment to work-life balance, the camaraderie, the feeling that your coworkers truly care about you and have your back... these things are truly unmatched. This kind of culture is only possible when the people around you genuinely like their jobs and genuinely like each other. Product in particular is uniquely great at Glassdoor because unlike other tech companies, our PMs have a direct hand in influencing & shaping the overall product strategy.

Cons

Product & Engineering has SUCH a great workplace culture... which means that no one wants to leave. This can pose some challenges with regards to upwards mobility as our org becomes increasingly top-heavy.

We’re actively exploring ways to ensure that everyone continues to find meaningful growth opportunities—whether through new initiatives, opportunities to learn, or expanded leadership roles. If you have specific ideas or areas where we can improve, I’d love to hear them. Thanks again for your contributions to our team and for helping make Glassdoor such a special place to build a career in product! - Andy Chen, Chief Product Officer
