Worst job I've ever taken

Pros

- Fairly solid benefits with catered food, gym on site, cell phone stipend, 100% covered health care - Beautiful location in MV

Cons

- Everything else. I say with so much regret how much I disliked working here and the negative toll it had on my energy and personal life. - Not a company to come in at the mid management role - no conversations about growth and future trajectory even from HR - Incredibly micromanaged and siloed work streams - these are two separate issues, but one in the same in they promote tactical and frankly boring job duties. Your job description is exactly your job with no potential to take on more expansive or strategic projects. - Did I mention micromanaged? You have very senior leaders pivoting data in tableau and making microscopic decisions that should be happening at a junior level. There seems to be very little trust in senior leaders to delegate and coach to truly have their teams grow. - All of these combine to create an environment where teams are siloed (no team or company wide bonding events) - I sat across a person for 3+ months on a different team who never said a single word to me. Again, not a team environment where people are friendly, open and easy to work with, making true cross collaboration tough and forceful. So who does succeed @ Glassdoor now? The MBA/ops crowd who can be particularly aggressive. Unfortunately since leaving, I've had several colleagues' friends and friends of friends ask for my input on potentially taking a job at Glassdoor post-offer or in late interview stage. With horror, I recoil and say no, to only hear that they too have heard the same thing across their network. That is a huge issue for the company and recruiting - the word of mouth that occurs after someone leaves. I see open roles on the website that have been open for months to a YEAR (including my former role). Unfortunately my experience is the average and not atypical.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, we are sorry to hear that Glassdoor was not a great fit for you. One of our key priorities for this year is a focus on career progression and manager development to enable growth and development for everyone at GD but particularly the mid manager team. We also actively encourage all team members to get involved with cross functional teams and put their hand up if they have an interest in a project or area where they feel they can add value or take on new tasks that can assist in their career goals. We are truly invested in our managers at GD and have made many amazing hires over the last year. Unfortunately while it does not seem to have been your experience, we get alot of positive feedback about the "family" vibe at Glassdoor and take great pride in promoting this through events such as cross functional dinners with the CEO, our open door policy and focus on transparency and regular All Hands events.

Pros

Competitive environment and training is provided

Cons

They promise a lot but what a let down, poor salaries, out of date commission structure. working long hours in general but here you are expected to work overtime every day. No team spirit a lot of friction and a racist environment . You need to appreciate your employees and make them feel special

Pros

- straightforward product to sell - notoriety with job seekers gives us a chance to sell against LinkedIn and Indeed - hardworking individual contributors who can be friends outside of the office if that is your style - Great office locations nationally and internationally (SF, Chicago, London, Dublin, Ohio) - Admirable senior leadership team that will offer mentorship, guidance and encouragement when you ask for it

Cons

- Politics: favoritism is rampant and cadres closest with upper management gets the first look at promotions - Profitability: seems to be an issue because we are cutting back on employee perks - Accountability: Managers are stretched thin but when they make almost 200k and when you do the office work they ask from you, you expect them to do at least the things they say they will do - Patronizing: clap twice if you agree with me

Thank you for the feedback. Internal promotions are a huge part of coming to work for Glassdoor, and in sales in particular, they are based pretty purely on performance. We will take into account intangibles like how much a salesperson helps their peers, or tries to make their team more successful. But we are a very results-driven company and have no tolerance for favoritism. I'm really sorry if you experienced something else, and I would really like to hear the details if you are willing to share them with me. It's not congruent with our culture. On the news in Chicago - I think you are talking about the fact that we are partnering with Fooda to provide lunch options to people, rather than providing catering. Our intent is to provide easy, affordable grab-n-go lunch in the lobby of the building until the various restaurants that will be moving into the building are finished. I'm sorry if you feel duped, but truly - if you chose to work at Glassdoor because of a particular lunch program, you are in the wrong company. We want people who are passionate about our mission and want to grow in a fast-paced environment. Finally, you are right, I made the conscious decision to let my head of facilities address some of these questions. It certainly wasn't because I was hiding - I was literally standing beside him. It was because we believe deeply in empowerment and ownership. This is his world. He owns the messaging, the decisions, and the communication around them. I'm always here if you want to ask me something. But I think it's very important that our leaders lead, and that I make space for them to lead. That provides for the growth which is so critical for success at Glassdoor. Thanks - robert
