Pros

I have been at Glassdoor for 3 months and though I know I'm still in my honeymoon phase, I just want to say that I am LOVING working here. The culture is the best I have ever seen in any company. The sales team is strongly bonded and genuinely enjoy hanging out with each other. We support each other's challenges and cheer on each other's victories. All in all, I am looking forward to going to work every day.

Cons

The location is a bit tough- mill valley is not super accessible for everyone. There is some tension around structure of quotas and territories, which are being addressed.

Pros

I've been working here for 3 years now, and I seriously love coming into work more and more everyday. I am confident in the direction that the company is going, I love the leadership, the ability to make an impact, and the impact that our product is making in the world! It feels like we are making a huge difference in the lives of jobseekers - and that is AWESOME.

Cons

Some growing pains - communication is getting harder, with all the new people it has been tough to navigate the org at large. I feel like there are certain things that we have to rush to finish, and then nothing happens with it! Sometimes different parts of the company are working on similar problems, but not cross referencing each other to align their goals. The pay could also be better.
