Pros

I love working at Glassdoor, I have great teammates. We're a great size where you can continually learn new things but folks still know each others names and are invested in helping people out. I recently went on parental leave and my time away was generous, paid at 100%, and my transition into leave and then back to work were both smooth. This was aided both by the attentiveness of the People team and my coworkers. I've done a fair amount of job hopping prior to working at Glassdoor, and have yet to experience better work/life balance at any of my previous employers. The benefits are top notch. The 401k match could be more generous and a different vendor (e.g. Vanguard) would take less fees, but that feels like a small complaint when stacked up against our quality health insurance, generous leave policies and overall flexible workplace. We're a remote-first company but also have a whole team putting thought, time and effort into maintaining a collaborative work environment despite the challenges of remote. I'm so grateful we didn't receive a blanket RTO mandate.

Cons

Indeed integration is a real quagmire, upper management doesn't seem to understand the complexity of it. Working with Indeed is a slog through no ones fault, it's two very different companies in size and culture trying to collaborate. Upper leadership sends the toxic positive message of "this partnership makes so much sense" meanwhile there are bugs galore in the integration products and we're not given the time to make the integration work well. It can be frustrating to see Glassdoor teams of 5-6 tasked with accomplishing a set of tasks where the partnering Indeed team has 40+ folks working on it. Engineering leadership in particular ought to have a heavier hand in dictating the time balance between new features and core product stability, when left up to individual teams it almost always means we continue to chug along with a lot of tech debt weighing us down. I've been through two rounds of really heartbreaking layoffs and leadership always talks the good talk about reprioritizing and "doing less" with less team members but that never truly comes to fruition.
