Pros

- Amazing people to work with. Seriously, they're the smartest, most humble and passionate people you'll come across. Just about everyone believes in what we're doing. - Glassdoor genuinely care about the whole person. This is the first employer I've had that I haven't had anxiety about having to leave to take care of my child, or take care of myself when I'm sick. It's like they really understand that there is more to employee lives than Glassdoor work. - No boys club or high school style politics here. You do your work well and contribute to the team/company? You move up. Backstabbing or any other oppressive types of behavior are unacceptable here. This place will literally change how you feel about work.

Cons

- Was sold on some things during my interview process that turned out to be incorrect. Seemed to be an education issue with the recruiter. I don't think it was malicious or salesy or anything but would liked to have the full picture of what I was walking into. Minimal things such as 2 days off per month (sold as a permanent feature), told I would get full coverage insurance for me and children in 24 months instead of 48. - There seems to be a weird referral situation in place - almost like if you refer someone to the company they seem to be LESS likely to be given a shot as a means of reducing bias. It is messaged as a standard referral set up, however. Just a weird situation altogether.

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.
