Excellent pay and benefits package Very pro-wellbeing Unlimited PTO Policy - with regular "company days off" Option to work fully remote on my own schedule I feel very supported and part of my team and the wider company despite predominantly working from home

Cons

Can at times have slight delays in doing day-to-day activities or resolving internal system issues due to certain teams being solely US-based.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! I love that you are feeling supported and a feeling of belonging with the broader Glassdoor team. This is an important goal for us in CS and across the company, especially with our hybrid work environment. As for your feedback on turnaround times and time zone challenges being in EMEA, I think that is completely fair. While some of this is unavoidable, our support teams should be prioritizing your requests at the beginning of their work day. Please keep your leader and myself aware of any specific escalation needs or if the delays become unmanageable so we can review options. - Kira Dewey, Interim Head of CS

Pros

-great employee benefits like catered lunches, gym/exercise classes, 401K matching & general flexibility. Friendly/knowledgeable peers and high approval of executives

Cons

-relatively low salary/bonuses compared to others in the Bay Area tech space. The positives of a start-up culture were also matched with the negatives of feelings of disorganization & need for process streamlining at times

Thanks for your review! We strive to offer benefits that meet employees needs from perks, to health and wellness, wealth management and beyond; it's great to see those are of value to you as well. I'd encourage you to meet with your manager, leader, and/or People Business Partner (PBP) to share more about how we can improve in the areas of better organization and streamlining processes; we're always aiming to iterate and learn. I appreciate the time you took to share this feedback. - Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer
