Pros

Working at Glassdoor allows me to work a corporate job but have the fulfillment of working for a company with a great purpose. Not only do I align to the mission of our company, but I appreciate that our leadership is taking bold strides in transparency (like pay transparency), and I'm grateful that I have gotten to attend many D&I events hosted by different groups where I can take time out of my work day to learn, meet new people, hear different perspectives, and challenge myself.

Cons

It can be difficult to see how things are going to shake out in the long term given the big changes we've made recently. However, I think our leadership has done a good job of encouraging me to stay motivated in the near term until we can see further out.

Thanks for taking the time to drop us a review! Your sentiment about feeling connected to a great purpose at Glassdoor is music to our ears. It's a mission we feel strongly about, and we look for talent who can add to that excitement. We are truly in a "thinking outside the box" chapter of our company, where new and bold ideas are being embraced and developed. We hope that our decision to publish salary ranges encourages other employers to have transparency conversations about how they think about pay. Additionally, it holds us accountable to our own employees! While 2020 has not panned out how we initially planned it to, we are incredibly optimistic that the strategy we've aligned ourselves to this year will position us for long-term success and maximum impact on our industry. Thanks again!
