Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Glassdoor. I wholeheartedly agree with you that a team of great people is at the heart of making magic. The respect, compassion, and transparency Glassdoorians give each other constantly fuels me and the team to be better everyday. I hope you continue to cultivate the spirit of the Glassdoor experience wherever you are.

I am also proud of our commitment to help create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive society and workplace has fundamentally changed the way Glassdoor and many other companies recruit and retain talents. We are hiring! Please check out our job board or contact me directly if you or someone you know are interested in working at Glassdoor.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review; I appreciate it! I agree; the people, culture, and benefits at Glassdoor are all top-notch. Glassdoor has heard the feedback about compensation and is in the process of rolling out several new updates to our Total Rewards package in 2022. I can understand the feeling of uncertainty about the future, especially with the number of changes we've seen over the past couple of years. I believe we have a strong vision for where we're going and am excited to see how it evolves. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts - best of luck in your future endeavors! - Cara Barry, C&C Director
