Great Place to Work until the Culture shift

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing people for the most part. The work-life balance, benefits and autonomy were amazing.

Cons

Some people were overlooked, and some were overly celebrated. Shift in culture due to the economy and Recruit demands - as well as Indeeds' influence on the business

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s great to hear that you’ve experienced the strong community, balance, and flexibility that have always been central to Glassdoor’s culture. We know the past couple of years have brought meaningful change — both in the broader economy and through our closer alignment with Indeed and Recruit Holdings. With that has come an evolution in how we operate, but our focus remains the same: creating a workplace that values trust, belonging, and impact, where great people can do their best work. I appreciate your perspective and your continued contributions to making Glassdoor a place people are proud to be part of. - Owen Humphries | President, Glassdoor

Business Outlook

Pros

- The Sales individual contributor culture is positive, supportive, and collaborative. - Many talented Enterprise Reps make the peer-to-peer environment strong and motivating. - Good compensation for over-performance. - Several years ago, prior to the Recruit Holding acquisition, this was the best company I had ever worked for.

Cons

- GTM leadership has become disorganized and ineffective. The company has lost the founder-led culture that once made it thrive. - Sales leaders focus heavily on micromanaging metrics that keep Reps busy but don’t necessarily drive revenue. - Mid-level and top-line leaders rely on fear, anxiety, and constantly shifting targets instead of motivating their teams with clear, meaningful goals. - Instead of simplifying around quota attainment, leadership overcomplicates performance with endless spreadsheets and fragmented metrics that distract from real selling. - Too many SMB managers are promoted into the Enterprise tier without true enterprise sales experience, resulting in misalignment at the executive level of client engagements.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for the passion and honesty behind it. There’s no question that the last few years have brought major changes for Glassdoor’s go-to-market teams, particularly through the integration with Indeed. That said, I’m proud of the foundation GD GTM built: a culture of collaboration, integrity, and commitment to helping customers build world class employee brands and find real hiring success. As we move forward as part of the Indeed family, our priority is rebuilding around those strengths: simplifying how we work, aligning goals across sales and product, and ensuring every team member feels supported and empowered to succeed. Your feedback reinforces how important that focus is. Thank you again for your contributions and for helping shape what made Glassdoor great. - Owen Humphries | President, Glassdoor

Business Outlook

Pros

Glassdoor was a great place to work, but leadership made poor decisions around the direction of the products.

Cons

Product didn't evolve at all in 12-13 years. Execs made one big bet and it failed miserably. Simple as that.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that parts of our product evolution haven’t always moved as quickly as we would’ve liked or had the impact we wanted. But we try to learn from those moments. Today, our product roadmap is focused on transforming Glassdoor into an AI powered recruiter and coach that will provide company and career insights, advice from real users and connect your with relevant companies and jobs. - Andy Chen | SVP, Product, Glassdoor
