A great place to work… until it wasn’t

Pros

My co-workers were incredible people to work alongside, unfortunately that can be said about any place. At Glassdoor you feel like your helping and working towards a common goal of helping employees and would-be employees know whats happening behind the curtain at potential careers, again unfortunately Glassdoor has its own internal problems, bad managers, and integrity issues.

Cons

Leadership has never handled layoffs well, you are constantly fearing for your job and those of your fellow co-workers. Sad because there was so much potential all those years ago I worked there, I’m so happy to be on the other-side, working for a company that truly makes a difference in this world. The same cannot and will not ever be said about Glassdoor.

Glassdoor Response

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your experience working here at Glassdoor. I completely agree that we have inspiring and motivated people, who are passionate about our mission. I also appreciate your feedback on the areas for improvement and am sorry to hear you felt we could have done better with the recent layoffs. While our decision to reduce our workforce was incredibly difficult, it was necessary for us to sustainably operate the business through what we expect to be a prolonged period of weakness for our industry. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m happy to hear that you’ve landed at a company that feels like the right fit for you and wish you the best in this next chapter. - Christian Sutherland-Wong, Chief Executive Officer

Pros

The people at Glassdoor were the best of the best. The culture was extremely collaborative, inclusive, and enabled us to grow. I learned so much from my manager and director and am still in touch with many of my collegues and mentors even as we approach the 1 year mark of the massive lay off.

Cons

Transparency The company yielded this as one of the highest core values and they lied to us until the very last week before the lay off. The upper management (Christian and comrades) had extremely poor leadership during a very difficult time. It seemed like COVID was a cover up for the lay off when it's really that Glassdoor is being more absorbed into Indeed than before. It's sad because it was such a special place.

Pros

great people, at least there used to be

Cons

let go of a bunch of great employees. I think Glassdoor had great potential. Now it will most likely just get sucked up by indeed.
