Pros

The people in this company are solid. There is a really good mission and a product that people need. Really important to provide people with all the information about the jobs that they are going to take. The company as a whole takes care of their employees and were early with work from home options and providing flexible options to work.

Cons

The company as a whole is still having trouble switching from start up to larger stable organization. Strategy is a moving target and there is a lingering legacy leadership with Robert and Ryan that have not let go of the company and are holding it back somewhat. Christian (CEO) is still directed by Robert and doesn't really have a handle on the new product needs. Overall the company is still very much focused on business needs to the detriment of the users. There have been many key people to leave recently and there might be more.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that you have been positively impacted by your coworkers. Our Good People are truly what make Glassdoor a special place to work and innovate on behalf of our job seekers who rely on us. Your feedback regarding stability and strategy for the future is noted. While our founder, Robert, is an important and irreplaceable part of who we are at Glassdoor, Christian has been our sole CEO and made his own leadership decisions since being appointed in early 2020.

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.
