Pros

There's so many good things that Glassdoor is doing right now to keep true to company culture while continuing to expand and grow. 1. Work/life balance is amazing. 2. The growing team in Chicago has hit the ground running and is working tirelessly to make Chicago the next big staple for Glassdoor and it's very fun to be apart of that. 3. Management here really cares about you and your career growth here. 4. Lots of free food and snacks. 5. Working for a company where people truly believe and value the what they're selling makes so much difference. There's so much passion for Glassdoor and that really shows across the board.

Cons

There aren't too many true cons I can think of right now. Everything I would consider a con would fall under the "growing pains" category. Expect there to be a learning curve with the job and a learning curve with the whole Chicago operation, it only started in January 2016. We can't have dogs in the office would be the only true con I can think of.

Thank you so much for this incredible review! As someone who has been with Glassdoor through thick and thin--and across the country--I could not agree more. We are at a point as a company where our rapid growth is impacting us in positive ways. Like any company of our size & stage, we are working through growing pains that leadership in Chicago (and throughout our four other offices) are consistently working to address. When we as employees offer our feedback, it helps provide transparency to our leadership on where we’re getting it right but also where we can course correct. As for the no dog policy, we are a bit limited by policies in our current building, but we are doing our best to not forget our four-legged friends--just check out our new Pet Wall! Our culture across the company, but especially out here in Chicago, is hands-down the strongest of any workplace I've seen and we truly value everyone who works here. We are continuing some long-held Glassdoor traditions, as well as the Buddy Program, so that our new hire classes feel at home and ready starting on Day 1. Glassdoor Chicago is not only here to stay, it’s here to make powerful difference. Glad to have you as part of the team!

Pros

Flexible working Unlimited PTO Culture Being treated as an adult (at times) Nothing else

Cons

Poor senior leadership Out of touch CEO Pay not competitive Poor decision making The time to make any decision takes far too long and are reliant on Indeed to agree or work with us to make a decision. Waiting half a quarter to receive your quota! Poor planning Almost too much of a focus on D&I and not on some very basic issues

Pros

Glassdoor has given me the best friends and managers I have ever had. The Mangers and Directors really did believe in their team and made work enjoyable. I will forever be so thankful to have met these people. Christian, please do not take credit for giving me my friends with your canned review response.

Cons

The CEO and Senior Leadership team really left everyone in the dark of how much of a mess Glassdoor has been for the past 11 years. I'm very excited to see how the Indeed merger plays out. It is laughable how the CEO is blaming the layoffs on COVID. These layoffs would have happened regardless. COVID just sped up the process, so Christian can get a fat check quickly when it all plays out. Christian, you have absolutely destroyed Glassdoor's culture all within a 30 minute conference call. After you get your payout when the merger officially happen, it might be worthwhile to go back to a Leadership 101 course in college. Perhaps you could even learn a little bit from the amazing Managers and Directors you let go with no warning.
