Pros

* Glassdoor is an amazing place to work. I have worked for startups for over a decade now, and the culture is amazing. I can say many companies try to achieve what Glassdoor has with regards to culture, but they just don't quite take it seriously enough. But you have to give to receive. You have to contribute to the culture to reap the rewards. You will be culled if you aren't contributing with your heart and mind. This is because they take the culture of the company as well as it's success very seriously. * I was given plenty of room to prove my merit and was promoted several times during my tenure. * The compensation was without compare. * Free Lunch, Gym, Arcade, Game Room and more. * Great facilities in the corporate office * They don't skimp on resources. This aren't afraid to buy you good, high end equipment to ensure you can get your job done. * They are fast paced and get things done. * Great leadership. The company has rarely not delivered on what is says it's going to do. They deliver the roadmap, and unless there is a good reason to deviate, they don't.

Cons

* If you aren't ready to give it your all this place isn't for you. It's a culture of hard work and hard play. Sometimes it can be a bit daunting, as it's full of driven successful people. * Communication can be difficult in a startup environment. Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, but this is very common in growing companies, so it's more a just be aware thing. During busy sprints, you may have to send communications a few times to get through as people are very busy.

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.
