Pros

Benefits are awesome- truly like woah!! Great managers/direct reports. Amazing culture- truly the best one I've ever had in a company. I love that each person, even on a cross-functional level, works really hard to get things done the right way, and doesn't take short cuts. There is a solid work/life balance, too though. I really appreciate our leadership team, and their openness with changes. I have seen a lot of changes in my first year here, and have still felt supported through it all. This company wants you to succeed in every way possible, too. I feel cared about on both a personal and professional level. Honestly, I hope to stay here for as long as possible!! I am very happy here.

Cons

I can't say there are any 'cons' for Glassdoor specifically. Naturally, given the economic climate, there are changes; the way they go about it is constructive in my very strong opinion. At the end of the day, I trust that leadership cares about us, and provides us as much transparency as they possibly can. They really stand by their values and mission and that means a lot to me, and makes the company more credible in my eyes.
