Pros

It's a mission driven company -- feels good to be doing something good for the world (theoretically)

Cons

The pay is very mediocre... that was okay given that work / life balance was pretty good. But, 60 hour weeks has become the norm. It's gotten political. Execs are leaving left at an alarming rate...

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glassdoor is a mission driven company - helping job seekers find a job and company they love and I'm happy to hear that our mission has resonated with you. A foundational component of Glassdoor is also transparency. Earlier this year, we provided insight into our Compensation Philosophy - which one can find on our blog - which highlights that we target the 65th percentile as midpoint for salaries of non-technical roles and the 75th percentile as midpoint for technical roles. And no doubt, 2020 has been a challenging year with a global pandemic, moving to working remotely full time, and social justice taking a prominent role. Within Glassdoor, these changes were also layered upon a strategy shift and a focus on radical transparency. In addition to salary transparency, we have also focused on transparency into: diversity data and metrics, pulse (employee engagement) results, and promotion transparency to provide employees and candidates alike the insights and information they need to navigate their careers. Despite the changes that 2020 has brought us, we are excited about the progress we've made in these areas and the future impact we can have to help those at Glassdoor and everywhere love their job.

Pros

Great culture of people and coaching from management

Cons

CEO. Communication is horrible around any business critical priorities. It stems at the top after Robert left.

Pros

-My passionate, intelligent, and tenacious co-workers make every day not only bearable, but enjoyable. We’re able to laugh and support each other through the hard times while simultaneously celebrating our wins. Grateful for the long-lasting friendships that I’ve made and the camaraderie that is within GD culture. -I’ve been lucky enough to experience ample support via my personal development and growth; the change and expansion that we’ve been through has provided me with invaluable business and life lessons that I’ll take with me throughout my career -Robert frequently communicates with the org to ensure we’re all deeply emboldened by our mission and able to keep the long-term goals in mind. Recent feedback regarding unattainable quotas has been acknowledged and addressed with recent incentives to boost morale

Cons

-At the beginning of 2016, we embarked to become the number 1 jobs site in the world. What we didn’t prepare for was a complete restructure in our client services org and large pitfalls in our jobs product/performance that we still haven’t repaired. In turn, this has created significant hardships for the growth and CS team as they scramble to deliver recruitment ROI. -Extreme lack of communication between SOPS, new biz, growth, and client services has led to the development of processes and procedures that pit varying departments against each other. Cancellable deals, growth’s lack of knowledge with jobs, new biz setting false client expectations, implementation attempting to build custom employer brands, CS receiving training for branding conversations that growth is already having are all long-term problems we are currently fixing with band-aids. -Culture has shifted due to loss of key internal players that added energy and grit to the sales floor. Need to find new way to recognize those that not only perform via the numbers, but go above and beyond to add value to the culture and development of our teams and org as a whole. This will allow employees to grasp on to another purpose even when performance might be low. Due to recent internal changes, AE’s in MV are struggling to adjust to a new morale that is tainted by micromanagement and distrust, which is fostering an unproductive and anxious environment. AM’s needs are often overlooked or put off to prioritize bringing on new business and the lack of resources is impacting the ability to retain.

I love what you said about the employee's ability to not only pinpoint the problems, but to bring valuable solutions to the table. We've made a lot of changes with in Sales, many of those changes were focused on getting this right by the team. My door is alway open, and I really do want you to bring me your solutions. You made some really insightful points about recognition and I agree we need to do more of this. I'd love to hear your ideas. Feel free to reach out to me directly.
