Pros

The people at Glassdoor (prior to the layoffs) that were at the director level or below, are the best people I have met or had the pleasure of working with. The people are what made the company so great. The TA team was amazing and it hurts to write this post knowing this and all other reviews will make their jobs 10x harder. The product for the job seeker is phenomenal.

Cons

The product has not been "enhanced" in years. "Leadership" went down the drain as the acquisition by Recruit kicked in. Transparency was at an all-time low at the time of the layoffs. Understanding we are in tough times, this is when transparency is needed most. Blindsided is an understatement regarding the emergency all-hands meeting (we were given a 30 minutes notice) before cutting the heart and soul of the company out and throwing them to the curb.

The people make Glassdoor more than just a place to work, they really do make it something special. I'm glad that you felt that your colleagues were some of the best people you've met and worked with. No doubt, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on everything, including our business. It's truly heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to such talented Glassdoor team members. Please know I believe transparency is incredibly important and believe it's our most important company value. While we had shared in our monthly All Hands that we’d seen a significant impact on our company, I hear your feedback that you felt blindsided by this decision. I hear you and take that feedback with me. I hope you will stay in touch with the people that made your time at Glassdoor special and please do not hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you and we wish you the very best. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

Met a few good people along the way. Overall, nothing memorable.

Cons

I'm curious why a Glassdoor employee would rate the company a 5.0 and highlight the great people and work life balance 2 weeks after 300 of his/her colleagues got laid off. Who says that? Certainly not someone I'd want to work with. Is that who you want to work with?

The people, the snacks, and the support from management went above and beyond expectations.

A lot of overtime due to a large number of accounts and quota carrying.
