I found my dream job helping others find theirs

Pros

Glassdoor is a great place for career growth, making friends, and experiencing new foods. I love our dog friendly office. It's so fun! We're also right beside the ocean which is just beautiful. One of my favorite parts about Glassdoor is our employer's emphasis on employee wellness and work life balance. Unlimited PTO allows me to take sick days without stress and the freedom to work my own hours lets me schedule my day how I like it. We also have a personal trainer on-site 3 days a week. I'm obsessed with her class. But my favorite part about working for Glassdoor is I enjoy showing up to work every day. Although I have the option to work from home some days if I like (I have a long commute), I love coming to the office because my co-workers are my friends. We also have standing desks: major plus. I love you Glassdoor!

Cons

I make below market pay, but for me, a job is SO MUCH MORE THAN SALARY. I love my job which is worth more than any amount of money. Don't get me wrong, I still make good money, I just could be making even more. Glassdoor pays decent :)

Pros

usual tech start up perks smart and cool coworkers (extending beyond work friends) work outside of SF Dogs in the office

Cons

Leadership/management hasn't been listening to employees over the last 10ish or so months leading to many people questioning whether or not the right people are in place to lead this company Transparency is no longer a thing that exists as Glassdoor. Many people are informed of departures of coworkers weeks and months after the fact. No one has any idea in what direction the company is headed We are now large enough to where "changes" don't happen overnight and are mostly long, drawn out processes that many of us don't get a chance to see through People have been promoted into management and director roles just because of internal ties that has many of those scratching their head why and how it happened Pay is terrible and to drive that point home our own tool confirmed it

I always appreciate direct feedback. And you've identified a number of areas for improvement, many of which are already in the works. We're almost twice the size we were last year at this time with more offices and how we managed and communicated then is not sufficient today. Investment in management training is at the top of the list. And, your sales leadership is already working on new comp plans. We're growing and I hope our people continue to grow with us. While things may not always be easy, I am confident we are working though some of these growing plans and am really excited about what's ahead in 2017 and helping every employee understand their role in our future. I hope you'll be part of that journey and invite you to reach out to me directly.
