Pros

The people at Glassdoor are the best there are. In my 5 years there, I never met a bad apple but I did meet many intelligent, wonderful and kind people. There is a lot of support for new ideas and trying new things. The benefits were great, and while it is expected to work hard, Glassdoor supports employees getting time to recharge.

Cons

As Glassdoor continues to partner closer with Indeed, there are some growing pains as the companies come together.

Thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback. I’m glad to hear that your Glassdoor experience is positive including the great benefits and career opportunities.

I really enjoyed my time at Glassdoor. I've had the pleasure to work it some really good and smart people. I admired the Tech Leadership team as well as the Executive team. They made sure radical transparency was at the forefront of everything we envisioned. I enjoyed the perfect balance between work and life.

Cons

The tech stack is improving but there are still legacy apps to deal with. It felt the compensation wasn't very competitive
