Pros

I love working at Glassdoor because of the people, the pace and how much we are getting done. Never have I worked at a company with so many awesome people. Glassdoor invests in getting you to know your team and it's a huge benefit. I have the opportunity to solve interesting problems, hardly ever have a boring day and am always learning and being pushed. On the perks side we are well taken care of with catered lunches, a gym, gym classes, kegs, dry cleaning pick up, plenty of snacks and happy hours.

Cons

Growing pains feel are starting to show but I see a little bit of an effort to keep things moving smoothly. People wear a variety of hats and project owners seem to shuffle so it can be tough knowing who is responsible for driving the project. This definitely slows things down. There are lot of rotating/changing top priorities which come in a fast paced environment. Overall these cons are pretty expected in a startup.

Pros

Our employees are phenomenally smart and driven, yet humble and kind. Very few companies of our size can say the same. I love this about Glassdoor. There is a career path for those who want it. Glassdoor sets ambitious goals and then beats them. It’s amazing. All of our teams are endlessly driven, innovative and dedicated. We are helping people and changing the world.

Cons

Our basic product offerings are quite simple, while their packaging, pricing and value prop feels a bit over-complicated lately. Rollouts of new features, functions or internal processes can seem hasty. The resulting technical bugs, questions and confusion can be intense.
