Exciting time for Engineering and Product

Lead engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The engineering team is comprised of good people. Large engineering teams commonly have their share of high egos, but, refreshingly, there are no jerks here. There are 2 engineers in my management chain, including the CTO, and they are both people I trust, respect and learn from. Glassdoor is well-positioned as a business. Users can find open jobs, like they can on any other job site, but they can also discover what it's like to work at each company & how much money they can expect to make, right on the same page. That's a useful & powerful combination. The ceiling is high and the road ahead is exciting. The core infrastructure team is great. Our stack, architecture and processes used to be quite dated, but we're catching up. It's a fairly transparent company. The CEO answers anonymous questions every few weeks. I hope that's a channel we never lose.

Cons

The usual growing pains - communication, meetings, cross-team care & coordination - all take up time that could be spent coding away to glory.

Strong culture with an amazing mission

Pros

Glassdoor has a great culture based off of transparency. There's trust within the employees and trust within the executives to deliver and continue building our mission. Management is strong and work/life balance definitely exists here. Love the open collaborative environment, dogs around the office are a plus, and perks are incredible.

Cons

While the office is beautiful, a more accessible HQ would help the employees commute and help attract top talent. A 401k matching program would be helpful too.

Great company, lots of future and growth

Pros

First of all the culture is great, everyone I know are always ready to help, everyone is friendly and mostly in a great mood, that is because pretty much everyone is exited about our mission and vision, I think there is a great future to the company. Management is very accesible and open, they care for the individual and listen. There is also a bunch of talent and you can see how the architecture, and over all code get's better and better.

Cons

Technology wise they are not on the forefront, you can see this as an opportunity to really impact and contribute to better the code, but some people might see this as a turnoff. Again this is by no means a reflect on the knowledge and talent of devs, is more of legacy and honestly time because the company is growing extremely fast.
