Pros

* Great brand and awareness * Great prospects for growth and future success * Well managed overall; seasoned, experienced management team * Positive, supportive culture * Company walks the walk - given its mission to help you find the job and company you will love - Glassdoor needs to model that in order for its mission statement to be credible

Cons

* HQ location (Marin) can be a commuting challenge, depending on where you come from * You may consider this a "pro" but dogs are allowed in the office, along with the issues they bring, for better and worse * Budgets and staffing levels are tight, financial approval levels are relatively low, but this is somewhat normal given the stage the company is at (pre-IPO) - and on the flip side, the company is financially prudent and is driving toward profitability

You hit on many of the things that are top of mind for me for FY 2017: Hiring/Retaining great leadership that reflects Glassdoor values, product innovation, customer satisfaction, growth, and ensuring that Glassdoor is a company where employees love to work. It'll take all of us. Thanks for your review.

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.
