Pros

Employees are valued and this can't be overstated. The company really stepped up for those of us who were laid off during covid.

Cons

Way too casual atmosphere dulls the business edge to nearly no urgency at all Leadership by committee slows decisions and projects are mired in early stages while everyone has a say in what happens next Overly complex business processes for a simple product concept

A Truly Special Place

Pros

My time at Glassdoor was truly amazing! Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing opportunity for growth and to make some good money! Some of my best friends outside of work are my coworkers!

Cons

Due to COVID, 300 employees were laid off. This was hard to deal with, especially as leadership was ensuring us that our jobs were safe over the last 3 months. It is what it is though, still an amazing place to work!

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to write of your positive experience at Glassdoor, even though this is a tough time for you. I am so happy to hear that the people, culture, and opportunity for growth made Glassdoor a special place for you. As a leadership team, we have endeavored to be transparent about company performance through our monthly All Hands and other communication channels. Though, I must acknowledge we’re living in a truly unprecedented time. No one could have foreseen this pandemic or a crisis of this magnitude. In our recent All Hands, I shared with employees that we had seen remarkable impacts to our business due to COVID-19 and unfortunately we saw no signs of improvement, resulting in this very difficult decision. It has been incredibly painful to say goodbye to talented people due to the impact of COVID-19 on our business. I want to thank you for all you’ve contributed during your time at Glassdoor. I hope the connections and relationships you made at Glassdoor don’t end here and continue on. It was a privilege to work with you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pathetic Leadership, Toxic Culture

Pros

Catered lunches Office in Marin on water

Cons

Senior execs are out of touch, petty and fail regularly at good communication. Leadership at all levels like to talk about transparency but do not walk their talk. No females on board of directors. Executive team very male-centric. Decisions are made by the few at the top while others are left to manage the day to day with low pay and very low team morale everywhere. Favoritism abounds on finance team, with one select group getting very obvious preferential treatment. Culture is young, clique-ish, immature. Salaries are low and HR likes to make excuses for not giving people raises commiserate with their titles, promotions, experience and past performance. Lots of excuses why things cannot be done for certain people while rules are bent or flat-out ignored for others. People with no management experience are promoted without adequate training. Overall, the same old same old - there are pets who get the money and the promotions. If you dare raise your voice about a sincere concern or problem, you're vilified. Poor behavior and harassment overlooked if you've been at the company long enough. Members of the leadership team are overly dramatic and have temper tantrums. If you are an individual contributor, you are expected to suck up this behavior. Men are treated differently than women. Favoritism abounds.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I believe transparency is an essential part of our culture and who we are at Glassdoor. As a company, we make significant efforts to live and breathe transparency at all levels and provide transparency through our All Hands, #askthecoo slack channels and other forums. This includes transparency around how we pay, promote and how we work with our own employees. I'm disappointed to hear that these efforts aren’t aligned with your experience. If you’d be willing to, I invite you to share more with me on how you think we can be more transparent. My door is always open. It is personally very important to me that every employee feels they can thrive and grow here and have equal opportunity for advancement.
