It's a great time to be a part of this company...

Pros

This is probably the first job I've had where I don't just consider it a place that I have to go every day to make money. I look forward to the people, the environment, and most of all the work itself. We're growing rapidly, and I feel like I got in at the right time to really make an impact and grow our business. The transparency isn't just a gimmick. The senior leadership here understands what it takes to run an effective organization, and despite growing pains that are a part of any rapidly expanding company, they're still as open with us as any exec team possibly could be.

Cons

The biggest challenge at this point is going to be maintaining the company's culture as we on-board more and more people. As long as we stick to our core principles of transparency and inclusion, we should be fine.

Pros

Smart people doing good things with state-of-the art technology. Growing in a competitive space with the goal of dominating the space. Working in a beautiful location. Glassdoor is fun!

Cons

Commuting to a good job is still commuting. Having co-workers crammed into workstations because we're growing fast is challenging. Not having perfect alignment in management can create tension which doesn't need to exist.

Pros

I feel like I learn something new every day and am constantly improving. The senior management is very accessible and open to feedback. Our solutions provide great results for the companies that we work with - so you can take a lot of pride in what you are doing and build really awesome relationships with your clients. It's a very collaborative environment where people drop what they're doing to help you and make sure you have all the tools you need to be successful. I think we do a really great job practicing what we preach and being transparent within our own organization. Every employee at Glassdoor is instrumental to the success of the company and management does a great job to show people that they are appreciated. I really love this company.

Cons

Because of the rapid growth within the sales team, there have been a lot of territory changes recently. It can definitely be frustrating when you have to let go of an opportunity. But that does go both ways, so for every deal you have to give up.....you typically get one back. The move to our new building has been delayed a few times and we are getting pretty packed within our current space. It's a start up and sometimes you have to be scrappy, but it's hard to find a quiet place to place to think.
