Pros

Decent Pay & Benefits, truly on a good mission that is unfortunately muddied by a click of original players.

Cons

Leadership (who have only ever worked at Gloo) lacks the experience required to run a mature technology organization, which creates constant strategic shifts and unclear priorities. Internal politics often outweigh sound product and engineering decisions, making it difficult for teams to execute effectively. Many talented people work there, but the leadership structure and culture ultimately hold them back.

Pros

I loved my time at Gloo! Fun work environment especially at the office in Boulder. Competitive salary and great benefits. The work is really fulfilling too!

Cons

The one drawback was that Gloo didn't offer matching retirement when I was there but now they do!

Pros

- Decent pay - Flexibility in working remotely - Good snacks

Cons

- Company claims to be about "human flourishing," but it is more interested in the flourishing of the Christian celebrities and business leaders with whom they're associated - Company claims to "serve those who serve," but leadership regularly is interested in serving their own interests. Leaders in my division wouldn't speak to me or even make eye contact unless they needed something. Very self-serving. - Be prepared for chaos. Constant restructuring and internal passive aggressive fighting between teams. Constant layoffs. - Claims to be serving churches, but mainly only churches that fit their evangelical, nondenominational, megachurch definition. - Leadership will use Christian language but are there to inflate their own ego. - Not only hypocritically un-Christlike, but also unprofessional. Layoffs are constant, yet handled very poorly. - Poor culture across the company. May be alright in individual teams, but poor communication and collaboration.
