      Pros

      - Engineers were always friendly and collaborative - Very fair compensation across the board - Flexible work schedules and vacation/holidays

      Cons

      - Mid-level leaders are just information conduits instead of vision/strategy drivers - Confusing and ever changing direction from the top - Engineering is a downstream partner of Product as opposed to being an equal partner - A very outdated engineering culture for both development and advancement amongst the group

      Thank you for your review, I also really value how friendly and collaborative everyone in engineering is, and the healthy emphasis on work-life balance (including generous vacation time!). I think your point about some confusion from the top is not totally unwarranted, we are going through a period of big changes as we pivot into new areas, but there is always transparency from all levels on what our end goal is, and the higher level plan to get there. The Product Org is leading that change. So in Engineering, we do follow their lead on features, but in my experience, we are One Team and equal partners. Please know we will do more in the future to ensure you feel your voice is heard in Engineering. Thanks - Tony Hawke, Director of Engineering

      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.
