Pros

I cannot overstate how incredible of a culture Glassdoor has fostered over the years. I have phenomenal coworkers, who are some of the most intelligent, hard-working and compassionate individuals I've ever met. We have leaders who operate with an open-door policy, managers who advocate for our well-being and peers who support one another day in and day out. I feel comfortable showing up as myself to work and genuinely enjoy my time here. On a professional level, I've also felt supported to pursue my interests and seek out opportunities throughout other branches of the organization. I've had the ability to take on some work that I've found to be incredibly meaningful without feeling overwhelmed with my other, existing responsibilities. My manager is world-class and our commitment to work-life balance is unmatched. I could not recommend working here enough and feel incredibly grateful for the people I've met, the opportunities I've been afforded and the way I've been treated in my time here.

Cons

We're a remote-first workplace, which can mean that you don't get to see your co-workers as often as you might like to in person. That being said, folks are well-adapted to that reality and do a good job carving out space for some optional, virtual, social interactions.

Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor! Your post and headline really made my day. I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on our culture—it's all about transparency, great people who truly care about the work we do, and a relentless drive to make worklife better together. I'm thrilled to hear that you've had such positive experiences with supportive leaders here. Thanks for being a valuable part of our team! - Britney Martinez, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Pros

I used to work in professional services before and I had been a workaholic most of my life, sacrificing my personal life for high-risk projects that would or would not launch, and lacking a sense of purpose. Ever since I joined Fishbowl, it gave me a taste of what working client side feels like. If there were two ways of describing the culture, it's that of empathy...given the mission of the app, it makes sense that everyone is very sensitive and aware of workplace dynamics. People work hard because they are passionate about the brand, but also know how to enjoy life and disconnect. The team is multicultural too and well balanced. I feel blessed to have smart and empathetic leadership. I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else and would turn down any fancy brand trying to recruit me (and have). Obviously never say never but just to say I'm very happy here. Finding your professional wellbeing is highly personal and for me it's smart and kind leadership, work life balance and purpose. Money is good too. Is it FAANG $$$? No, and they are very upfront with it from the get go which is nice. Sanity has a price tag. There's a reason why other tech companies pay stupid amounts of money: because it's hell, or a soul-sucking job, or you have no job security. But still it's competitive here. One more cool thing is that we have salary bands that are published on the blog (find it now if you're looking for a job here!). So there's no mystery around the negotiation process. There's a band and you negotiate within it depending on your experience. Transparency to death. Love it.

Cons

We have been a startup for a while before we got acquired by Recruit and joined Glassdoor, so there were some expected challenges like getting all the work done on time with a tiny team. That said, there have never been bad vibes on that either. Now that we're growing, it's been a relief to get more support. But still, we could always use more hands to do the work! The classic complaint of all companies. Also, now that we've joined Glassdoor, we'll see how the culture changes - but so far the Glassdoor team is crazy nice and welcoming. Through Zoom, they've managed to make us feel at home in their culture. And we're very much aligned: transparency, kindness, helping people in their professional development. So far so good! (sorry I know this is supposed to be a "Cons" box and honestly I don't hold my tongue in general but things are pretty great - I've had my fair share of soul-sucking companies over a decade and half working at dozens of places, and this is by far my best experience)

Pros

Lean teams so it's easy to make an impact

Cons

Indeed has too much influence. Rewards are for the Execs.

Thanks for your feedback. Our Executive Team participates in the same health & welfare and 401(k) program provided to all our employees. As a matter of fact, Jan 1, 2022, any employee which has been continuously employed by Glassdoor for 48 or more months, will no longer pay towards the health plan premiums. We are rewarding employees based on their commitment and tenure to Glassdoor and providing premium-free health care. However, the Executive Team is excluded from this perk and will continue to pay a co-share of premiums in 2022 regardless of tenure. From a compensation perspective, we target our market midpoints at the 65th percentile for non-tech roles and the 75th percentile for technical roles at Glassdoor. Our employees are rewarded with Base, Bonus targets and Restricted Stock Units at hire and we provide annual refreshers for every employee regardless of their role or job level. The RSU grant pool more than doubled for our employees in 2022 along with many other enhancements. In our efforts to drive ""Radical Transparency"" we even publish all our salary ranges online including the Executive Teams salaries. - Brian Conner, Head of Total Rewards
