Pros

I wake up excited to come to Glassdoor every single day. Having a game room, dogs everywhere, and kayaks for rent are awesome perks, but the people create a one-of-a-kind work environment. Friendly, motivated, and unique employees make this culture special even as the org grows. I'm thankful that I moved across the country after undergrad to work at Glassdoor.

Cons

-Am I saving lives or changing the world everyday? No. Are most post-grad entry-level roles? No. Am I challenged to aim high, work hard, and equipped to succeed with the opportunity to grow? Absolutely. -It is tough to transition to other departments. Only apply to be a Sales Development Representative if you think you want to work in sales.

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

- Great people, they are always willing to help and teach. - Awesome company culture, lots of fun company sponsored events. - Free lunch on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday. - Snacks and drinks always available in the kitchen. - Reasonable expectations and quotas. - Clear career advancement path.

Cons

Not the BEST training because of the fact that the office is still fairly new. I can tell they are working really hard to improve the training process as they continue to grow and bring on more new sales people. More senior sales people get awesome training and in all honestly the SDR role doesn't need extensive training.
