Pros

Glassdoor has an amazing vision and a great company culture alongside a product suite unrivaled by anyone else in the marketplace with future innovations in the pipe that are sure to keep Glassdoor as the global leader in recruiting and employer branding solutions. Glassdoor has a great vision and mission, inspiring senior leaders and the best culture and values in the world. They genuinely care about people and they give you the opportunity to transform yourself as a professional in line with EMEA growth. Everyone seems genuinely grateful and happy to be here. There is no seniority complex among the management team and each individual is recognised as an important part of the wider company. A lot of time is also invested in personal development which I have not seen anywhere else. The facilities are superb and work environment is great fun. There is a positive work/life balance. Managers offer a lot of trusts which helps you to perform well and enjoy your day.

Cons

The business is at a critical juncture, and some crucial business decisions must be made to keep it growing and the standout in its industry. It seems we have just started this journey, I hope it's not too late.

Mixed feelings about working here...

Engineering manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The people here are amazing - always positive, genuine, honest, and open. Totally love the vision of helping people find the jobs that fit their life.

Cons

The biggest downside, especially for engineering, is the career growth aspect and the ability to move fast towards technological advancements. There is also a long way to become truly agile especially now that the organization has grown to a decent size. The expectation of people should work extra hours similar to being in a start-up does not really gel well with everything else that is not so start-up like. The other downside has also been the location as the company is growing and it does not help much in hiring local talent.

I appreciate you being so candid about what’s working and what’s not. As we scale, it’s important to retain our agility. The investments we are making in DevOps' Platform as a Service and the continued push to micro-services should allow us to recover some of that agility and I hope you are already starting to see some of the benefits. Regarding career development, I'm proud that many of the engineering leaders grew from within our org rather than hiring from outside, but I know we need to continue to invest to ensure everyone has the opportunity to learn new technologies and meet their career goals. As a leader yourself, I'd love for your participation and support in helping to improve these things. Thanks for the comment!
