Glassdoor Reviews

Pros

Glassdoor is my favorite company I've ever worked at. The company has done a great job of hiring people who are genuine, smart, hard-working, and passionate about the mission. You really get the sense that leadership cares about you & your wellbeing. I've felt very supported from a career development and mentorship perspective as well. Some highlights of working here: - Amazing work-life balance - Kind & fun coworkers - Work-from-anywhere policy (+ nice offices in SF & Chicago for those who want to be hybrid) - Benefits are solid! Great health insurance options, 5 month parental leave, plus some fertility & therapy-related benefits - People are largely bought into the vision I think it's a great place to build your career as a PM!

Cons

- Compensation could be better (compared to big tech) - Would be nice to have a larger 401k match - Many tech companies offer a paid sabbatical for those who have been at the company for 3+ years. Would be nice if Glassdoor offered something similar!

Pros

Great Company to work. Perfect work life balance.

Cons

Nothing much, Everything is good.

Pros

Great Support and growth opportunities.

Cons

Not a lot of benefits

Pros

Glassdoor offers quite a few benefits and one of them is being remote even though we have an office. You can be flexible with your working hours as long as your work is done. Great people and minds around with a lot of experience to share and learn from. Glassdoor is quite transparent with changes and what is going on in the business so that is always a plus.

Cons

Sometimes feels like there is a lot of stress and pressure to overachieve as hitting your target is not enough for praise and job well done. At times there are things out of your control and you are told it is ok, it happens to anyone but then it will be brought up again in a way that you have not done your job and that it will reflect bad on your career. There are career opportunities internally for sure but in order to be promoted you have to tick so many boxes and those will only depend on your managers opinion. There is room for argument and questioning of the processes and feedback given to you but at the end, it is manager's way and no other way so you never win or feel like you are heard and listened to. In terms of feedback/performance reviews, the negative is always more highlighted than all the good that you have done.

Pros

Culture is good and the people are fun, honest, and transparent. Benefits are great!

Cons

Leadership makes extremely questionable decisions with tight deadlines. For example, the data team had ~5 critical technology stack migrations all taking place at the same time amongst normal development work for business use-cases. Layoffs. Probably one of the most unorganized companies (planning-wise) I've had the chance to work for, but that is likely team-dependent.

Pros

- the GTM co-workers are some of the best around - amazing remote-first culture, very inclusive and no micro-managing - You get to work with clients to instill real change at a company and industry level. it goes a long way in providing purpose to our jobs - very heavy focus on supporting DEI internally, which is AWESOME! - lots of opportunity to give feedback

Cons

- like most companies effected in the last 3 years, Glassdoor is grasping for a way to stay relevant in the market. Evolution and change is hard and the path forward hasn't been clear. - Pay is average at best. There has been a lot of changes to the compensation model in the last year with inadequate transparency around it. - Lots of turnover in mid to senior level management resulting in slow or halted progress internally - The partnership with Indeed is VERY messy and it often times feels as though Indeed is in the drivers seat for Glassdoor's future.

Pros

- Culture is like nothing I've experienced before. Co-workers truly assume good intentions, I haven't encountered any snarky or pretentious people. If you make a mistake nobody belittles you for it. - The mission is really important. Hiring seems broken everywhere, and Glassdoor is genuinely trying to fix it. -Benefits are quite good, with great health insurance family plans and wellness options like Classpass - Work life balance actually means something. I generally start and end my day at reasonable times and rarely need to work beyond that. Unlimited PTO and ability to actually use it is also great -Transparent leadership

Cons

- Many of Glassdoor's products do not work very well. Job matches in particular have been wonky for a long time and frustrating to use, especially compared to LinkedIn. - Strategic direction could be more clear - Smaller company so fewer lateral growth opportunities, although you can definitely get promoted

Pros

The work being done here matters to the larger world.

Cons

Some engineering leaders care more about shipping the absolute bare minimum as fast as possible and hitting arbitrary, poorly-defined milestones than they do about listening to anyone with ideas or opinions which differ from their own. Quality is an afterthought. No time is allowed for substantive, cross-discipline collaboration. And some engineers/managers are more inclined to rewrite their coworkers' code to match their own ideas for how to do things, less inclined to accept when something isn't "perfect," and disinclined to work together to define clearer definitions of done. Yet they expect others to wrap up as soon as something is good enough and chuck it over the fence to others without regard. This is one of many double standards. Things used to be much more collaborative here. What changed? When did people stop caring what others think?

Pros

As you can imagine, the culture at Glassdoor is AMAZING! They do a really good job of hiring the right people, so everyone that works here is a great addition to the team, at all levels. It can be a challenging role, however I always feel I have the best support system when needed. Everyone that works here is treated like an adult, with no micro management, no big KPI's etc. You are trusted to do your job and encouraged to perform well. The commission is structured very well, with all employees earning a healthy salary each month / quarter. Both the teams in EMEA and US are extremely diverse, with a transparent roadmap of where the company wants to be moving forward. I love working at Glassdoor!

Cons

Being partnered with Indeed, I think the CRM's need to be integrated to make our jobs a lot easier and smoother. other than that, I have no cons of working here.

Pros

I've had an incredible time at Glassdoor - It's one of the most supportive work environments, and we truly feel like we're doing impactful work. There's a lot of interesting transformation that the company is doing as we continue to integrate with Fishbowl, and I'm excited for the company's future

Cons

As the HR tech world sees a slight downturn with layoffs and reduced hiring, the next year won't be easy for Glassdoor
