Pros

Leadership and management is always looking out for your best interests! It feels great knowing that Glassdoor leaders will give us their time and resources to mature info refined professionals, and do not expect us to come in being perfect. You just have to ask for the help! Glassdoor also has a lot of fun benefits like catered lunch, flexible work schedule, ability to bring dogs into the office, and Marin kombucha on tap! All coworkers are wonderfully quirky, motivated and diverse. I love coming to work for the people!

Cons

Although you can learn a ton at Glassdoor, there is almost no structure or guidance on how to succeed at your job. Managers are spread thin on many different projects other than helping their direct reports achieve Quarterly success. Training for new hires is extremely disorganized and disorganized. You have to rely on your peers to learn the day to day. Continued trainings that are marked as MANDATORY to attend in the middle of your day, are oftentimes useless. If you want to know something, get resources, or learn, you have to go after it yourself. The "build your own desk" culture is still very much alive! Pro for some, con for others.

Pros

-The mission -Product is easy to get behind, so we feel pretty confident on the phone -The people are great, which makes a huge difference in company culture -I’ve had positive experiences with management that wants us to succeed and grow -New Chicago office is great -Robert and executive leadership is good at keeping us in the loop and demonstrating transparency -Opportunities for career growth -I feel excited about our future!

Cons

-We’ve grown a lot, which comes with some growing pains. At times internal communication could be much better, especially around promotion path and specific steps/timeline to promotion. I think we’re taking good steps to get there, though! -Our Chicago office is great, even though location is a little difficult for commuters. It would be amazing if there was the option to use the gym downstairs for free! I know I’m paying extra to commute there, so maybe sometime down the line that will be a wellness perk provided to employees.

Thank you for the feedback. We are incredibly proud of the new Chicago office and we’ve invested a lot of time, love, and input in order to make it comfortable for our teams. This is a very exciting time for Glassdoor and we have more great things to come in the future as we keep getting better. Regarding your feedback on continuing with transparency; it is always a goal within executive leadership to filter communication back down to our teams. It is not always perfect, but we try hard at it and we are committed. And, we are working on how to better inform employees on career trajectory and what it takes to get promoted/advance at Glassdoor - Look for more on this soon. Thank you for all that you do. -Robert
