Pros

-Refreshing to know that a company really really cares about it's people -Amazing mission -Amazing VALUES - GRIT, Transparency, Innovation, and Good People (aka eggs) -Just a great group of employees who work here (no jerks allowed, no big egos) -Feels like we are on the right track, although we've taken some turns -Offices and amenities are spectacular, especially Chicago -I love that we are always iterating and listening to feedback -the health care plans - they are good. SO great to have an amazing health and benefits packages which is not something you appreciate until you need it! -good leaders and good support throughout the org -feels like I can bring my TRUE self to work

Cons

-we've taken a few wrong turns on occasion and invested in areas that could have been better spent elsewhere, I think you can only see and know what's right in front of you though. If only we all had a crystal ball. -we've made a few mistakes in the past on territories, alignment, and roles and hopefully fixed them -all of our roles and jobs are NOT easy! It's always a challenge and often new challenges everyday -agility is something we could really work on, how to move fast - I think we are getting better

Pros

Glassdoor continues to prove to be the best company I've been part of. I joined because of the people, the values, and the mission. Since joining, I have experienced incredible leadership, career development, and built great relationships. We practice what we preach and I've seen continued transparency from our senior leadership and beyond.

Cons

As a large tech company in the recruitment space, it's vital we continue to innovate our product and what we offer the job seeker and companies we partner with. We have transparent leaders who are guiding us through this scaling phase thoughtfully, but there will always be growing pains and areas for improvement.

Pros

Flexible hours, the people for the most part, snacks, company outings

Cons

Senior leadership preaches transparency every single day yet hides a lot of things behind closed doors. Furthermore, they don't set up outside sales hires for success. The book of account are a mess, bad data, tons of time is spent cleaning those up day in an day out and they teach pressure selling which causes great opportunities/accounts to never want to talk with us again.
