Pros

- You will work with some of the smartest, most genuine people ever at Glassdoor. People care, and it shows. Glassdoor is like a family, on the DemandGen team in particular. Everyone is friends and hangs out after work. We celebrate the wins (and handle the failures) together - you will never be alone here. - Team happy hours are plentiful, the company takes time to celebrate with picnics, holiday parties and milestones. You’ll feel recognized and appreciated with all of the emails teams send around to each other praising each other, BAMF celebrations on the sales floor and how much people are genuinely looking out for each other. - People here are scrappy. They will drop what they’re doing to help you out. Great people are hard to come by, but Glassdoor truly has a lot of them. - Amazing benefits - Unlimited PTO (that people actually use), 100% covered health care, fully stocked kitchens and free lunch every day, dogs in the office, 401(k), etc. - Our Mill Valley HQ is beautiful, right on the water, has tons of walking paths around the buildings and it’s so nice getting out of the city each day and driving over the bridge to come to work. - We’re building something great, and you can feel that the people here truly believe in what we’re working towards and ultimately believe Glassdoor helps people find jobs and companies they love. It feels good coming to work every day knowing that you’re making an impact. - Your career will skyrocket here. Young employees are given a lot of responsibility and held to high standards, but if you rise to the occasion, you are definitely rewarded and promoted. This is the best place to start your career, and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunities this company has given me in the past 2+ years.

Cons

- Work/life balance is a thing, for some people in some departments. But in others, you’re praised for working well into the night, being online on weekends or working on vacations. It’s not healthy, people are burning out, and we need managers to insist people have a work/life balance again. I’ve seen many people just on my immediate team have to take emergency vacations or days off because they’re so physically and emotionally stressed and drained, and it’s definitely concerning. - Morale is low right now. Companies go through ebbs and flows, and this is definitely a hard time across the company in terms of turnover and morale. But, as long as people stay calm and believe in this company (and stick through it) I believe it can (and will) turn around. - Lack of diversity.

Glassdoor Response

Thank you so much for this review. I feel very lucky to work at Glassdoor for all the reasons you have outlined and I’m happy you feel that Glassdoor and our team are like family. I know that this team is feeling the pressure of our rapid growth, which is even more pronounced during our busiest time of the year. I appreciate the amazing effort and passion that everyone brings to this company everyday to realize our aggressive goals, but I want to be sure we're not running this team so hot that people are burning out. I’m working very hard with the other leaders on this team to improve processes, redistribute work, and restore work/life balance in areas where it is challenged. I think we've already made some positive changes here, and I will continue to commit to this effort and check in regularly to see how we're doing.
