The last few years have been tough for every team at Glassdoor. We have so much potential but we are at the mercy of limited resources. It seems like we’re going about growth and innovation at snail speed and are neglecting our paying customer’s needs when all we want to do is offer great products that help reinvent hiring processes. The trade offs Product seems to be making to accommodate these limitations is disheartening but it’s not their fault. Our move to Community will feel better when we make it helpful for customers.
From a morale perspective, we also don’t get to see each other in person often or at all, although I’m hoping this may change with forthcoming investments in company gathering strategy. We all desperately want to be together in person for an event. I’ve been here for 3 years and barely know anyone outside of my immediate team outside of Zoom. I’d love to meet cross functional partners on other teams, share a meal and discuss our goals or aspirations… or talk about non-work interests. We’ve lost a bit of our culture magic because of a remote first approach.
