Pros

I believe in the senior leadership/execs. Made great updates to approach re: sharing information that has had a felt impact. Love the new focus on being a recruitment company, instead of separate B2C and B2B identities. Excited for building for scale over the next years. Marketing reorg was smart, and long needed. Have had good career opps here. Not an ego-driven place. Tries to be and hire thoughtful, strong people. Def appreciate our gym (though needs some investment) and classes (more yoga please!).

Cons

Salaries not market rate. Think it's hard for us to hire true A players all the time. Not as modern or shiny/sexy place as some expect from Valley tech - whether that's our environment/office space, coffee, tech savvy of employees, or our sites/app and design. Feedback/suggestions to HR and facilities oft met with defensive, corporate email replies - even something small like "could we have less candy / unhealthy food and more healthy stuff?"

Pros

Super easy sales - You close sales in 2-3 calls for Small or Medium Businesses. - Pipeline is always moving because of the quick sales cycle. - Everyone knows who Glassdoor is so when you are on the call it's always warm. - Monthly quotas keep you motivated the whole quarter long which creates a fast-paced environment Great culture for growing a career - More than anything, people aren't judgemental. Be yourself and no one will give you a hard time. - Managers have your back. - You never feel like anyone is looking over your shoulder. - You can expect to be promoted every 12 months if you're doing well and the managers like you. - You learn sales methods from professional programs instead of learning everything on your own. - People are suuuuuuuper friendly and helpful - If you like to drink, the SF culture just seems to drink a ton so get ready for that - There's an SF office, a Chicago office, and a few international offices. If you want to transfer offices, live in London, etc. Glassdoor is actually open to it! Perks and Benefits - CATERED MEALS are AMAZING! They've really found caterers who bring you great food every single day - Health, Dental, Life is all covered for you and partially covered for family members but it's top-of-the-line insurance providers - Work-Life Balance is something you determine with your manager. If you want to come in early and leave early, great. If not, most are expected to be here from 8-5 with an hour lunch. However, if you ever need to leave or stay home or go on a trip, they are super flexible and don't give you a hard time. Leadership - They've had their struggles in the past but recognize that and have changed a TON. - The VP of Sales will actually sit in a room with sales reps and ask them what needs to be changed and they actually listen. - The CEO listens to feedback and consistently is trying to improve transparency and communication. He's also just a genuinely good guy.

Cons

Here are the few I've found - This place is LIBERAL. Good for half of you, maybe bad for the other half of you. All of SF is really liberal in general but if you're already living here then you're used to it. People aren't judgemental if you are republican, but I feel like you'll just hear a lot of left-wing chatter and that might bug some right-wing folks. - This place DRINKS! Once agian, good for some, maybe not for others. If you don't drink or don't want to be around people who do, maybe Glassdoor isn't for you. Once again, no one will judge at all if you don't, but there is a lot of that here. - Leadership is still making changes to improve compensation and I would say change in general is a minor challange. - Some leaders don't seem super strong, you know? Like, they aren't the type of people everyone wants to follow. - Compensation is enough to get by, but could be better. Like I said, they are making changes to get you more money. - If you perform, you'll get promoted. But there is definitely a "cultural fit" aspect to promotions as well. So know that to get promoted, managers will definitely have to like you. If you aren't likeable, you might not even get hired so...... nevermind

Appreciate that you called out our culture as a big part of making Glassdoor a great place to grow your career. I agree! Also, yes the caterers have been great lately (yea!). We'll keep working on making our sales floor a place where everyone can feel comfortable and be successful. If you have anything else you like to share, come find me or send me an email.

Pros

Glassdoor has an amazing CEO (Robert) who really cares for the team members and is extremely genuine in trying to create a great platform for people to use in searching for a company. I loved the collaborative environment, flexibility to own your stuff, and the challenge to be at the forefront of building great software. Thanks for the awesome experience.

Cons

I worked a lot, but this was mostly my own desire - I didn't feel micro-managed in any way, I just loved it.
