Pros

I feel so grateful every day to work at Glassdoor. In addition to such a noble mission, I get to work with the best people every single day. Glassdoor does such an amazing job of hiring only the best of the best. Everyone is so collaborative and truly cares about each other. Glassdoor allows us to show up as ourselves. My manager continues to tell me to prioritize my family and health on a regular basis. I love the clients I get to work with and helping them achieve their goals

Cons

Our partnership with Indeed continues to have growing pains, as expected. It does sometimes feel like Glassdoor doesn't have much of a say, that we have to do what Indeed wants because they are bigger.

First of all, thank you for recognizing our amazing company. I love Glassdoor and I’m so glad you found time to share your valuable feedback. I too am grateful for our noble mission and incredible colleagues. We truly have the opportunity to impact lives and you are part of that noble purpose. The teamwork and collaboration I experience on a daily basis are unmatched and it sounds like you feel it too. --This is certainly rooted in the genuine care our people have for each other and the way our leaders carry themselves. Having supportive, empathetic leaders is essential to our culture and mission. It’s wonderful to hear that your manager is a strong example. We do truly care about you and your well-being. Hearing that you love your clients absolutely warmed my heart. Sales is a tough job, but enjoying the work and the people while helping customers sure does make it better. Thank you for sharing your perspective on the Indeed partnership. Though we’ve come far together, we know work remains. Please know that we will tackle some of the top challenges that surfaced in our recent Pulse Survey. Keep the feedback coming, you’re helping us prioritize and make improvements. Finally, I am fully committed to transparency and intend to continually improve communications as we work longer together. Your concern around rewards for tenured employees is definitely top of mind. Though it has taken me longer than anticipated, I’m committed to building and rolling out a new career progression plan in 2023 and also, equipping our Sales Team with the tools they need to accomplish great success. Thank you again for taking the time to write a review. Mostly, thank you for your hard work and GRIT. I’m grateful to you! - Val Roush, VP of Sales

Thank you for your review! I’m glad to know that you found Glassdoor a good place to work. I’m sure this was impacted by your positive sentiment around the people, pay and benefits. I think they’re pretty great too. I’m sorry that you felt uncertainty about the future due to our partnership with Indeed. Though it can be challenging working in partnership with a “sister” company, I have been spending time recently reflecting on how far we’ve come since 2020. Some of my proudest project work has been through collaboration with our Indeed partners. I’ve learned and grown and have confidence in the impact we’ve had on so many of our shared customers. We will continue to focus on process improvement and friction reduction to make our collaboration easier and better. Thanks again for taking the time to share you feedback. - Val Roush, VP of Sales
