Pros

The people are great. The benefits and pay are top-notch.

Cons

This company is a sinking ship. Layoffs after layoffs after layoffs. The new CTO and his friends came in and laid off the top performers to promote their friends. There is no product direction, no vision, and all the products are half-baked. I was suprised to see a good review from a GTM person here - I'm not on that team but they are complaining ALL the time ( I guess we are losing customers all over the place). A merge with indeed seems imminent.

Glassdoor Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Good People is one of our values so I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the people at Glassdoor. I'm also glad to hear you're appreciative of our commitment to providing a competitive Total Rewards package. I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling aligned with our company's direction. We've been through a lot of change over the last few years and change can be hard. We appreciate your dedication and commitment during this time of transition. I can honestly say that in my 9 years at Glassdoor, I have never been more excited about our vision and product direction as we transform to a community for workplace conversations. Our mission at Glassdoor has always been to help everyone find a job they love, especially our own employees. I'd encourage you to discuss your concerns with your manager. My (virtual) door is always open to you as well. It's important you feel connected with the direction we're headed. Best, Christian Sutherland-Wong, Chief Executive Officer

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.
