Pros

I have been working for Glassdoor as a csm for a little over a year now and I am still enjoying it. The biggest pro is hands down the culture every time, all teams are made of world class people and truly want to help each other succeed. I am so passionate about Glassdoor and it’s values which probably makes doing the work so much easier, as work doesn’t necessarily feel like work when you love what you do and feel aligned to the companies values.

Cons

Some teething issues with our new campaign product but I’m sure we will get through it as we always do. I feel like csms have too many competing priorities with sales and too many targets in general.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We take great pride in the culture we have created and it's so rewarding to hear that it's made such a positive environment for you! I hear your concerns, both around the EBA roll-out and KPIs. We've been discussing how we want to reconstruct CSM KPIs to reduce the amount of targets we have, help our teams focus on positive business outcomes, and better align with Sales in the new fiscal year. From what you've shared, it sounds like this will be a welcomed change. Thank you again for sharing your feedback and contributing to our successes! - Regina Amundson, Head of Customer Success
