Business Outlook

Pros

- There is great energy in the office every day, I never dread coming into work - Great support from everyone, from teammates right the way up to senior leadership - Exciting international growth! - Career progression is a genuine possibility - Management want to understand how you work, and adapt to that - Plenty of autonomy, if you find a way that works better, run with it (and share it :))

Cons

- Some growing pains, which is to be expected. If you don't like change, this is definitely not for you - Sometimes the work-life balance isn't the best. As I mentioned in the title of the review, "be prepared to WORK HARD". That said, you are rewarded greatly for your effort! - Slightly stricter controls/kpi's being put in place as we grow and expand in EMEA

Pros

Small close office in a great location. Lots of support from management. Transparent culture where nothing is kept from you. Friendly colleagues. who like seeing you do well. Opportunity for international travel regularly. Great work life balance .

Cons

As with any small organisation going through rapid expansion there are some growing pains. Response rate from support services can be slow. New systems mean tracking your quota performance can be challenging. There are never enough Vit Hits in the fridge ;)

Pros

-The mission -Product is easy to get behind, so we feel pretty confident on the phone -The people are great, which makes a huge difference in company culture -I’ve had positive experiences with management that wants us to succeed and grow -New Chicago office is great -Robert and executive leadership is good at keeping us in the loop and demonstrating transparency -Opportunities for career growth -I feel excited about our future!

Cons

-We’ve grown a lot, which comes with some growing pains. At times internal communication could be much better, especially around promotion path and specific steps/timeline to promotion. I think we’re taking good steps to get there, though! -Our Chicago office is great, even though location is a little difficult for commuters. It would be amazing if there was the option to use the gym downstairs for free! I know I’m paying extra to commute there, so maybe sometime down the line that will be a wellness perk provided to employees.

Thank you for the feedback. We are incredibly proud of the new Chicago office and we’ve invested a lot of time, love, and input in order to make it comfortable for our teams. This is a very exciting time for Glassdoor and we have more great things to come in the future as we keep getting better. Regarding your feedback on continuing with transparency; it is always a goal within executive leadership to filter communication back down to our teams. It is not always perfect, but we try hard at it and we are committed. And, we are working on how to better inform employees on career trajectory and what it takes to get promoted/advance at Glassdoor - Look for more on this soon. Thank you for all that you do. -Robert
