Such a pleasant company all around. A vibrant, encouraging workplace with passionate, bright and dedicated employees. Our team truly lives by our mission - to help people find a job and company they love. Glassdoor management enables its employees to learn and grow. Very transparent workplace. Awesome culture, great people, amazing product.

Cons

With change comes challenge, however, I have found that with the challenges employees are encouraged to take part in the conversation and are empowered to do so.

Pros

I've worked at a handful of companies who talk about culture. Glassdoor is impressively committed to being a great place to work. People are friendly and smart. No surprise for a company that is built on transparency, but there is a great deal of transparency within the company. Regular all staff meetings with open Q&A and sharing of the good, bad and better. And people aren't afraid to disagree and debate. People really are committed to doing the right thing and that means there is a lot of open conversation and real-time feedback.

Cons

There is a lot about start-up life that can be frustrating. Some areas of the business are running very fast while others are a little behind. Things are out of synch in places and it's frustrating that we can't be as impactful together as we could. Yet. People work all hours, all days. But it feels more like a bunch of people working on good projects--and not pressure from a boss to work around the clock. And with unlimited PTO, you have the ability to manage your own life as you need.

Pros

The culture at Glassdoor is unlike any I've ever been a part of. Everyone is friendly, willing to help and not only believes in the mission statement of the company but realizes the future of the company is a total and complete team effort. The catered lunches, dog-friendly setting and perks around the office are great, but the people are truly what makes this a place where you actually look forward to coming into the office.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly and this comes with pains and at times a lack of communication between departments. Aside from these relatively infrequent breakdowns, not many cons to report. Compensation could be better.
