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).

Pros

Close-knit team; great work-life balance; feeling of being at the beginning of a BIG movement in Chicago.

Cons

There are none for me, personally, at the moment. I find that there are always growing pains when companies open new offices and add staff, but the way that Glassdoor is going about it is perfect- deliberate, and maintaining the culture.

Great team, environment, achievable goals, and can actually hit your quotas. Work life balance is stressed here.

You definitely deal with rejection so if that's tough for you, this might not be the best job.
