      Pros

      Management has a clear and realistic vision is focused on what really matters and is able to punt on the things that don't meet that bar.

      Cons

      Nothing yet! I started three months ago and really like the environment we can bring our dogs, take a kayak at lunch and there is an on site gym.

      Two years in, still loving every day

      Pros

      I absolutely love this company and can honestly say that I am as driven to succeed and passionate about the mission as the day I started. I have experienced huge change in two years which has been a real thrill, yet I feel like I am only just getting started. The camaraderie is great and the people I work with are real friends. In London we are a small team and we look out for each other. I really appreciate the opportunity that I have been given and my favourite part of the job is that we are breaking new ground in Europe. The senior management team are fantastic and I have a lot of respect for them. I believe we will be very successful and we are going in the right direction.

      Cons

      The hours are often quite long since we always have a lot to do and we have to conduct a lot of conference calls with the US near the end of our working day. The salary and bonus are good but the benefits are not yet up to scratch. There's a lot of pressure, which might not suit everyone but I don't mind it. There has been huge growth and a lot of new senior hires recently so it does feel like we have lost some of the early start-up vibe at HQ. In Europe we are still scrappy though. Overall, the cons are really minor.

      Growing Pains

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leadership - Every time you hear our CEO (Robert Hohman) speak you know he passionately believes in our mission and truly cares about employees at Glassdoor. His leadership is what makes GD tick. He practices what he preaches and is as transparent as can be with where the company is heading and what he believes are our biggest challenges are. I have never worked for an organization with a leader as visible and truly committed to the cause as Robert. Colleagues - There are a lot of great people at GD. Since my first day here, people have been extremely friendly and welcoming. Benefits - What you would expect from top tech company in Bay Area.

      Cons

      Really feels like we are in that awkward in-between stage as a growing company. I definitely don't feel as confident about the business as I did at the beginning of 2015. We have also seen a lot of really great, smart sales people leave the org over the last 6 months and that can be disconcerting for the team. Another challenge is we are first and foremost a consumer site with a mission dedicated to serve job seekers. This doesn't translate as well to our offerings to employers. We regularly work with clients who feel like we are blackmailing them or that GD is a "necessary evil" because of the employee reviews. These can be really hard objections to overcome because we have no control over content. I also think our B2B products are not great. We have not seen anything innovative come through development this year and it feels like the products we do sell are not any different than what our competitors are doing. Results for clients vary greatly and we need to stop selling ourselves as a complete recruiting tool - we do branding really well (soft ROI), but are very inconsistent in helping get direct hires.

      Thank you so much for your review. Feedback is so crucial to our business, your comments have gone a long way internally! First, we want to thank you for the kind words about Bob, GD benefits and your colleagues. We strive to make work fun, and the people and culture are a huge part of that. Secondly, we want to thank you for the developmental feedback. Yes, you are right, we do have growing pains here! As we bring people on, we try our absolute best to thoroughly vet all new hires, including managers. We hope to keep making improvements to the interview process. Also, we are constantly tweaking product delivery, messaging, and positioning. Your feedback in regards to client performance can help us do better! Please keep sharing. Finally, I invite you to reach out to me or any other member of our leadership internally. :-) Stephanie Jenkins, Director of Account Management
