Pros

The camaraderie at Glassdoor is unparalleled. I've worked at places where each department felt like it had its own goals and everything was disjointed, but here I feel like we're all one team working towards the same goals. The executive team is committed to transparency and it shows. I've been especially impressed at the level of communication that's taken place since COVID-19. This is a challenging time for a lot of companies, and the uncertainty that comes with it can be anxiety producing for many. I feel like leadership has really stepped up to give us frequent updates on the status of things within the company and how they're thinking through problems and ways to be fiscally responsible. Early on when I joined Glassdoor, I really wasn't sure if I had made the right decision. There were a lot of issues on the team I joined and some toxic players. I often felt discouraged and didn't think I had a solid career path ahead of me. But the evolution of the company since I've joined and the way they've stepped up to help employees and their families during this time has been nothing short of inspiring. I am beyond grateful to work here in a career that I love.

Cons

We have a pretty meetings heavy culture which can get in the way of productivity. Already the company has responded by doing a "No Meeting Wednesday" once a month, but I think it would be good to increase the frequency of those, especially while we're all remote which makes it hard to disconnect at times.

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.
