Not a great company for growth

Pros

Good Benefits Catered Lunches Free Gym and Gym classes

Cons

Very little room to grow, often those who get ahead do so through nepotism. Glassdoor does not pay at a competitive market rate which is ironic in itself. The company hires the same cookie cutter people from Marin and there is a serious lack of diversity within the company. There is zero culture the only decent events are Halloween but even then people hang out downstairs for about 20 mins and then go back to work.

Sales is broken

Pros

Glassdoor has a fun culture, great people, and the typical "cool" perks one can assume from a Bay Area tech company (ping pong table, keg in the game room, etc.). I also believe we have a strong Mission Statement and business model. We've innovated to secure a unique spot in the world of recruiting and I think we'll be around for awhile.

Cons

As a sales professional at Glassdoor, these are the dark times...Quotas are wrong. Very few reps across the board are hitting their numbers which is morally defeating. Combine that with the fact that our very own Know Your Worth tool is letting us know how underpaid we really are, it doesn't feel great. There's been plenty of attrition over the past few months and I suspect more if nothing changes. If you're looking for a sales role in the Bay Area, I'd hold off on Glassdoor for about 6 months until some changes are made (hopefully).

Thank you for your follow and we appreciate your concerns and our goal with the recent announcements was to provide the team with the ability to be more successful during the second half of our fiscal year. We believe these changes will drive improved attainment for the team and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Pros

A lot of us came to Glassdoor because it provided a unique opportunity to be part of a growing company that would allow us to progress our career while being a part of a culture and mission that you couldn’t find elsewhere. Equity, free lunch/snacks, gym/wellness programs, dental/medical benefits, vacation policy when it included unlimited PTO, beer on tap, dogs in the office, office on the water & company events. What has kept me at Glassdoor for several years are the people and the culture that we’ve built. I have made amazing friendships and am lucky to be surrounded by smart, driven people who are invested in the growth and believe in the mission of Glassdoor. Sandler/Jim Mitchell training we received last year showed me that Glassdoor was invested in the personal and professional growth of the sales team.

Cons

This last year at Glassdoor has changed drastically, we understand that with change comes growing pains. However, as we’ve done in the past, when will we course correct? We constantly hear from our leaders that they ‘hear us’ yet nothing has altered and unfortunately it’s too late. It feels as though it is more than just the sales team where morale is down based off of conversations with other departments. As mentioned in the previous reviews, the culture and morale is shot and a lot of us just feel like a number and underappreciated. It is nowhere near what it used to be. Leadership changes in 2016 as well as a lack of communication and transparency has adversely affected the sales organization. Not only are we paid far less than any other startup in the Bay Area, quotas are so high, reps are in fear of being put on a plan. When roughly 10% of the team is hitting quota, which includes ramping reps, it takes a huge toll on morale and our personal and professional happiness. We all believe in Glassdoor and the culture has kept us here, but at some point if we aren’t making money and leadership continues to ‘hear us’ but makes zero change, what’s the point of caring anymore? Reps across the tiers are looking & taking other jobs as we know we are valuable assets at any other organization. In addition, there is little room for growth at HQ and puzzling staff cuts that are never addressed create an optic of uncertainty.
