Glassdoor reviews

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your perspective is important to us, positive or critical, as it helps us continually improve. Regarding our executive leadership, we understand that leadership styles and decisions can impact the work environment. We are committed to fostering a culture of open communication, accountability, and most importantly, transparency within our company. As I meet with other Chief People Officers, they continue to be impressed with how much we share with our workforce including our business metrics, salary information, and more. Transparency builds equity with employees and is a key foundational element of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts which is one of the reasons I chose to join the Glassdoor team. Regarding your mention of our ownership by Recruit Holdings, we want to assure you that our parent company's values align closely with Glassdoor’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and employee satisfaction. Glassdoor has always been encouraged to operate in most aspects of our business as an independent entity and Recruit has always supported our strategic direction. If you would like to have a deeper dialogue, feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to the discussion. - Danny Guillory, Chief People Officer

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review, we really do appreciate it. I agree there are a bunch of great people here which makes working at Glassdoor a lot more fun and rewarding. Your point about compensation isn't wrong, but personally, I feel that that is more than made up for by a really healthy work/life balance and being able to work on broad, impactful projects. Employee growth is also something that we do encourage, but generally, we do lean on the employee to lead this; perhaps we should be more explicit and encouraging about training/educational opportunities and options for lateral moves around the company to get experience. Thanks again for your feedback! - Tony Hawke, Director of Engineering
