Pros

New strategic company and product direction, especially for how we might drive transparency in the workplace for underrepresented and marginalized people, has got me feeling very excited and connected to the mission. I think there was a bit of "more of the same" kind of feeling since being acquired by Recruit Holdings (parent company of Indeed), but something in the air feels different now. Also gotta really appreciate the company for having a great response to COVID-19 in it's flexible work from home policies so far. Test: Slack me 1:1 if you think you know who wrote this! I'm curious how we can better protect people's anonymity.

Cons

Extreme turbulence for how the rubber hits the road with a company and product strategy shift. It took a quarter for things to start to progress, and not everyone is on board yet which makes it difficult to make plans while half the Product/Design organization is waiting for instruction from Directors and above. I'd like to see us feel empowered to progress the product while we're still sorting things out in terms of a new strategy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! It's great to hear that you are as energized as I am by our investment and commitment to helping bring transparency around underrepresented groups within the workplace. I feel so fortunate to be working alongside such a talented and passionate group of team members as we pursue this important mission. I'm sorry to hear the frustration you felt surrounding the speed with which we were able to provide clarity around the implications of our new strategic direction on our product roadmap. It's very important to me that we are fostering an empowering team culture and I really appreciate the feedback that we could have done a better job leaning into that culture during a challenging time. Annie, CPO

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.
