Pros

Smart people, good benefits, good recruiting team

Cons

It's actually tough to sell a product with no real value for its clients, it's a very expensive platform and we were asked to be inventive to try to show some sort of ROI. The "Indeed" model of selling jobs is not what the Glassdoor community is expecting, we expect transparency and clients are basically paying to hide reviews and put marketing content in front of candidates. I wouldn't be surprised to see you two merging. In the end, you're just a number, and you have to show appreciation to your management everyday if you want to climb the ladder. You might see sales reps overly nice with management even though they are not performing, but they will get promoted, don't ask why.

Thank you for sharing your experience and valuable feedback. I’m happy to hear that the people, the benefits and our recruiting team at Glassdoor were a highlight of your time at Glassdoor. I want to first assure you: you are not just a number. Every single person at Glassdoor matters a great deal to your team, to your leadership, and to me. You matter very much. I don’t disagree that over the past couple years Glassdoor should have been more focused on innovating and focusing on what differentiates Glassdoor from our competitors. Earlier this year, we did make a strategic shift to change that and refocus on what we do best. And that is where we'll double down as a business to be an indispensable resource for employers and job seekers alike. Employers and job seekers need Glassdoor and we're uniquely positioned to provide expertise and resources during this time and we will take this opportunity to rise to the occasion. Thank you for all you contributed to Glassdoor. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

Glassdoor is an open, fun, innovative place. You're heard and respected here. They have amazing pay and even cover 100% of your benefits and 90% of your spouse! It was one of the best decisions of my life to join Glassdoor.

Cons

Things change quickly, which is a good thing for me. But if you're someone who doesn't adapt well to a consistently shifting industry, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
