Great place to start early in your career

Pros

Benefits, work-life balance, fun events, more good people than bad, professional development opportunities, and supportive culture and awesome co-workers but only if you're lucky enough to find the right people. If you're starting off in your career this is a great place to learn. Although misguided and out of touch at times, their DEI efforts are respectable and they're trying, which was great to see.

Cons

Leadership only pretends to be transparent and supportive, favoritism, lots of turnover, poor communication between departments makes your work harder than it has to be, babysitting and making sure other people do their job right, passive-aggressive/fake culture at times. Some sales leadership recently left without any opportunities lined up so that was alarming to see. Not a lot of room for growth, promotions are usually one level at a time so be prepared to wait. Unless you're a favorite- then you might get promoted within a year, maybe even 2 or 3 times.

Thanks for leaving a review of your experience at Glassdoor. Our culture, benefits, ERG events, development opportunities and the amazing people that work here are indeed incredible. Our DEI program, while far from perfect, has come a long way, and we're proud of the steps we've taken to engage and retain our talent, as well as bring in fresh perspectives and backgrounds into our organization. We are pleased to recently welcome two new Sr. Execs who bring a wealth of experience, as well as increased racial & ethnic diversity to our senior leadership team. We have a healthy promotion rate, and a transparent promotion process available for all employees to see. Our goal is to make Glassdoor a place where everyone has access to opportunity, growth, and learning - and it sounds like you got to experience that. Thank you for your feedback! - Jacob Little, Sr. Director of DE&I

Great Company to Work For

Pros

Glassdoor gave me so many opportunities to be successful and I'm glad I could grow along with the company for so many years. I've had the pleasure of working with great managers and sales counterparts over the years. It's truly a great place to work. Plus, helping people find jobs and companies they love is a very rewarding company mission.

Cons

- The product is getting stale and it's hard to keep customers excited about what's going on at Glassdoor when there isn't a whole lot being added to the platform. - The partnership with Indeed can be very hard to manage. We're supposed to be a client's recruiting and employer branding "team" but that is rarely the case. - The layoffs last year left a bad taste in my mouth, so to say. It was hard to imagine a long term career at Glassdoor after that happened even though I wasn't laid off. - Compensation is good but not good enough to keep top performers around.
