Pros

- the GTM co-workers are some of the best around - amazing remote-first culture, very inclusive and no micro-managing - You get to work with clients to instill real change at a company and industry level. it goes a long way in providing purpose to our jobs - very heavy focus on supporting DEI internally, which is AWESOME! - lots of opportunity to give feedback

Cons

- like most companies effected in the last 3 years, Glassdoor is grasping for a way to stay relevant in the market. Evolution and change is hard and the path forward hasn't been clear. - Pay is average at best. There has been a lot of changes to the compensation model in the last year with inadequate transparency around it. - Lots of turnover in mid to senior level management resulting in slow or halted progress internally - The partnership with Indeed is VERY messy and it often times feels as though Indeed is in the drivers seat for Glassdoor's future.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and the details provided. I say this all the time, but getting this sort of insight from you & our team is invaluable! Admittedly, I have to agree that our colleagues in GTM are some of the best out there. We all put so much time and effort into our culture, inclusivity and making work meaningful, it's great to see folks feel the same. In regards to our close working relationship with Indeed: I hear you. I believe we've made some incredible improvements to how we partner (big shout out to our leaders, Ops Teams, etc.) -- but there is always room to get better. If you have ideas and suggestions around how we can be more transparent from the top down, please know my door is always open, I'd love to hear from you! - Brett Runyan, VP of GTM

Collaborative culture, ability for high impact

Pros

Glassdoor's culture is very collaborative with great people. There's a high level of autonomy and trust to make an impact. Love my coworkers and miss being in the office together!

Cons

Like most companies right now, burnout is high. Leadership is addressing with company days off and managing expectations and workload. Indeed partnership is great and tough at the same time. Partnership has been successful and seeing the business impact. Tough because Indeed has a different culture and is much larger than Glassdoor, so often hard to make progress and fight for what Glassdoor needs.
