Glassdoor reviews

Glassdoor is a rare combination of a private company doing something that really improves the lives of ordinary workers -- bringing transparency to pay, job interviews, and workplace culture -- and doing it in a huge way around the world. It's like working at "we're saving the world" nonprofit, but with private sector pay and benefits. As the company has grown over the past year or so, they have done a great job of preserving the quirky, small, tech-company culture. It has gotten bigger and more professional over the past year, but still feels scrappy and with a lot of interesting personality. People here seem happy with their jobs. There is a lot of talent here, but not a lot of huge egos. Glassdoor has a very flat organization, with little of the annoying, exclusionary hierarchy you see in larger firms. Everyone has a desk in the bullpen, and people roll up their sleeves and do their own work. I like that. It is fun working for a place with such a positive public image. Who doesn't love Glassdoor? Working from home is a possibility, at least for many employees. There is really generous vacation and leave policy. The company treats people like adults -- you take time off when you need it. The CEO is someone I liked instantly at my first job interview, and is someone I really believe in personally. The real unicorn in the building is him, and the amazing people he has surrounded himself with. I have learned a tremendous amount just watching him run the company this past year, and feel lucky to have been part of this amazing organization. I was made a lot of promises when I came on board, and I'm happy to report that essentially all of them were kept. I was basically given the ability to create a new division inside the company, with lots of room for my own creativity and personality. This hands-off approach is essential for a culture of entrepreneurship, and Glassdoor definitely keeps that torch alive.

I have been here almost 9 months and what an experience so far. This is the first role I have held in the Bay area where i can tell management and team members genuinely care about your success. It feel good coming to work everyday knowing that I have a chance to learn something new and grow as a professional. I hope that we keep they same mindset and atmosphere moving forward.
