1. New leadership - Glassdoor is attempting to change. When I joined there was still quite a bit of opportunity for anybody to make an impact and that was encouraged. With our new leadership (excluding engineering and product) it seems that ideas are only able to come from leadership and otherwise your job is blindly deliver. We are more and more being told to stay in our lane.
2. Hesitancy - Glassdoor is too risk averse. There are no signs of big bets or radical changes. We are told that big things are going to happen or but nothing ever seems to be any different. Much like the new leadership its a lot of talk but no action.
3. Transparency - Simply put, I don't trust the majority of our leadership team.
4. Trying to be "Corporate" - Glassdoor is trying so hard to be like LinkedIn or Indeed that its walking away from its identiy and literally squeezing the life out of their employees. I'd be curious to know exaclty how many people would leave if given anohter opportunity.
5. Favoritism - This is a new con at Glassdoor and depends on the team. I used to think that our leader valued the team but in most recent months its seemed quite the opposite. If you're not somebody this person wanted/chose/hired/or in in their direct area of compentency your career is likely better off elsewhere.
