Very simple business model that capitalizes on real trends in consumer behavior.
Culture is extremely important. Feedback is constantly being solicited about the direction of the organization
Support from marketing. The Glassdoor brand is everywhere which makes selling much easier
Cons
Feedback is always being solicited about the direction of the org (yes, that can be a con).
Very competitive market of recruitment advertising. Most companies try to spend less on recruitment, not more.
Aggressive growth goals

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.
