Pros

Glassdoor Dublin is home to our super talented and passionate teams including Marketing, SDRs, New Business, Customer Success and HR. What I enjoy most about the Dublin Office are the inspirational people I work with every day, who believe in Glassdoor and our mission to help employers hire informed candidates at scale. We genuinely enjoy spending time together both in and outside of our temporary home in Regus; whether that's going for a run at lunchtime or enjoying a couple of pints in the local pub, where we had a great evening with our CEO, Robert, and his wife when they visited the office a few months back. As pioneers in Dublin, we have the honour of building our flavour of Glassdoor's culture, which is unique to Dublin and it's amazing to see it evolve and grow as we do. There is a world of potential for Glassdoor in EMEA; don't be naive, it takes hard work and determination - long hours and flexibility and that is not for everyone, and that's ok. Every day I am challenged to find a new way to move forward, find a solution to a new problem that I haven't met before and that's part of the reason I joined. You need to hold yourself accountable, no one is going to do it for you and it's up to you to find your way to make yourself successful. No one on the team should fear failure, if something goes wrong we share what happened, discuss what we learned and how we will avoid repeating the same mistakes as we move forward. We are on the crest of the wave in EMEA and I am excited to see what the next 6-12 months will bring for Glassdoor Dublin.

Cons

Working for Glassdoor, I understand how powerful reviews are, and my intention is to collaborate on how we can make Glassdoor Dublin even better... As a remote office finding our own way, we have a host of challenges specific to Dublin; from IT and facilities to consistent processes and structure which can take its toll on team morale over time. It can sometimes be frustrating when there is a lack of guidance and it feels like we are battling to catch up as opposed to getting ahead of where we should be as the great company that we are. I am confident that we will get there, as a team... it's what we pride ourselves on as a company, our grit and determination; and we need to see more inclusivity and autonomy to enable our shared success in EMEA.

This kind of thoughtful feedback is helpful as we branch into new markets and offices worldwide. I agree with you, we have SO much potential in the Dublin office and beyond. Getting support from the U.S. is great, but we also have the opportunity to operate locally. I’m proud of our team for having a can-do attitude That said, I’ve made sure all our sales leadership hear this sentiment so we can be even stronger and learn from one another.

Pros

Glassdoor is still really young - only 8 years old, and much of the growth has happened in the last 2 years. That means that it's easy to make your mark if you've got ideas and experience. The people are smart and friendly. It took me no time at all to build a network here. People are very open to the new programs and changes my team has implemented.

Cons

The location (Mill Valley) is lovely but there are no public transit options... so my commute is not great. Start and end times are super flexible though, so I just tend to come in early and leave early while others come in late and leave late. There is a negative vibe in some corners of the company. My take on this is that some people are not faring as well with all the change and feel left behind.

I’m glad to see feedback like this come in from a member of my own team. As you know, we work hard to make sure people feel like they can really make a difference here, it’s great to know they do. I hear you on commuting, and despite our lovely running trails and unbeatable views I feel it too. Right now our SF office is small but, just like Glassdoor, growing quickly. Having more people in our SF location isn’t out of the question for the future.

Pros

- I work with some of the most talented and fun people every day - The challenges that are put in front of you on a daily basis are challenging, but you know that nearly everything you touch is having a direct impact on the company trajectory. - One of the best things about working for Glassdoor, is it is extremely easy to stand behind and be motivated by the company mission to help everyone find a job that they love.

Cons

- The commute to Mill Valley isn't ideal but the view of the hills and the bay somewhat make up for it. - It feels like big changes are made without consulting all those that are affected. These changes cause team members to go back and do extra work from slight adjustments causing days or even weeks worth of work that does not move the needle.

Thanks for taking the time to write this about our team. It’s true, we really are helping people with something important and the work we do here matters a lot. I think we do our best to manage changes when they come along, but your review reminds me that we can always be looking for ways to get better, so thank you for that motivator.
