      Pros

      Reason #1 to work at Glassdoor is the People -- my colleagues are the type of people who make me excited to come to work and solve problems collaboratively. I genuinely enjoy the people I work across all departments. Reason #2 to work at Glassdoor is the Mission -- Glassdoor enables the type of transparency that helps people find jobs they love and, in turn, improve their lives. Glassdoor employees are united in this effort and, personally, I feel a strong connection to this mission. This is noble work to be doing, now more than ever. Reason #3 to work at Glassdoor is the Future -- Glassdoor is the leading platform for workplace transparency and employer branding. As the world becomes more transparent, and job seekers continue to expect information about potential employers before they accept a job offer, I fully expect that our value to both employees and employers will only continue to grow.

      Cons

      We experienced significant layoffs just two months ago, and are in the thick of a substantial restructure as a result. To say it is an unprecedented time in Glassdoor's history is no understatement. Things are changing rapidly, and not in the normal "startup" way. We've been asked to bring a new level of adaptability to work each day, and not every type of person is up for this type of work. There's a long and winding road ahead so if you do join us, buckle up and bring your best.

      Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. It's your willingness to share that helps Glassdoor grow and evolve. It's great to hear that Glassdoor's people and mission are such a highlight for you while working at Glassdoor. We believe that as the world continues to embrace transparency, Glassdoor is positioned to be a leader and it's good to hear you share that belief. As a result of COVID-19 and the economic conditions that followed, the entire world has gone through many changes over the past few months. Glassdoor has too and we've certainly felt this impact profoundly. Sadly, Glassdoor was put in a position to make some tough decisions resulting in many talented individuals leaving Glassdoor too soon. It's always our hope to set everyone up to succeed and ensure everyone has a clear understanding of our company strategy and it's encouraging to hear you feel this way and we'll be very focused in the coming weeks and months to do our best to support our teams to ensure they also feel this way. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and your commitment to Glassdoor.

      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.
