      Pros

      I've been with Glassdoor going on 3 years as a proud part of the Sales Org. Shortly after I started, Glassdoor became my second home. I was surrounded by some of the smartest people I had ever met. I was immediately challenged and pushed to what I thought at the time were my limits. I can honestly say that 3 years later this is all still true, and I have learned more about myself in the past 2 1/2 years than I ever have in my life - both personally and professionally. The "you can" attitude that my managers have instilled in me is something I will be forever grateful for. This is not a general statement- l am talking about every single manager I have had here at Glassdoor. This "you can" attitude is now engrained in my bones and I feel like the possibilities and opportunities for me are endless. While my leaders empower me, my colleague's inspire me. I COULD NOT have gotten to where I am today without my amazing teammates. The amount of collaboration seen on a daily basis is unparalleled. When you establish yourself, show you are here to work hard, and collaborate and innovate with your colleague's, you earn the respect and trust of management and with that, I feel far from micro-managed. I end up pushing myself harder knowing that it is MY responsibility to hit MY numbers, and falling short impacts what's on MY paycheck. But not only that, I push myself hard so I can win for the team, for the tier, for the org. This is the type of culture Glassdoor has built, and it still lives from what I see on a daily basis. Who said culture was fading in Mill Valley!? If you were on the sales floor today, you may have felt differently . . .

      Cons

      I reminisce about the "good old days" and of course, get nostalgic. We have grown tremendously and can't expect the people and the business as a whole to be functioning the same as it was when we have nearly doubled in size year over year. With change and growth comes frustrations and these frustrations have caused some turmoil personally and across the sales org, all of which have been mentioned in prior posts: CSM re-org has disrupted AM productivity, Quota's seem unattainable, morale is low . . . It hasn't been an easy few months to say the least. That said, I do indeed see a light at the end of the tunnel. Every issue mentioned in previous posts has been addressed by the proper leaders. The issues are already being tackled and some, even resolved.

      I love the fight I hear in this. For me, there is so much reward in the work we do and the people we work with. It's what inspires me to come in and fight for our team and what we do each day. I appreciate your reminder to me/us to over communicate. As we move fast with more people, it's easy to just keep moving ahead. You're right, we need to make sure no one feels like they're "sitting in the dark." We have done a lot of work to address many of the concerns that have been putting strain on the team. Many of these issues have and are being resolved. Let's keep moving forward together.

      Great opportunity in general, but it never felt like the right fit

      Pros

      There was a lot of good that came out of working at GD. There was a strong culture that was clearly defined. Employees were treated extremely fairly, as you'd expect from a company that prides itself on transparency. I really liked the head of my department and my immediate manager. They each took the time to understand me as a person and shape the relationship to get the most out of me. Both of them were extremely good at what they did and enabled me to shape my path the way I wanted to. I got to work on a lot of great work and I will always think fondly of the actually core of what I did at GD. Because of my experience at GD, I've gained valuable tools that I will use for the rest of my career.

      Cons

      The whole time I worked at Glassdoor, it felt like I was in Pleasantville and things never felt exactly 'right'. The culture is strong and clearly defined, which is great if it aligns with you. The team is very so homogeneous, that I felt like I was on the outside looking in the whole time. The culture dominated by Tech/Sales Bros, Girls who like dogs/yoga, and lack of ethnic/cultural diversity really turned me off the whole time. The diversity is so poor that I couldn't help but feel like I stuck out like a sore thumb, which made it hard to last longer than I did at GD. Theres a lot of disconnect between the motivations of the teams and I felt that it added friction to every interaction I had. Whether it be product, sales, engineering, marketing, PR, everyone had their disparate goals and it created mini conflicts all the time. I think in order for GD to thrive, the goals need to converge and teams need to compliment each other rather than fight for resources.

      Building a culture that welcomes and celebrates differences across the board is key to a healthy organization. This is something our leadership team is very aware of and driving toward. I'd welcome your feedback on specific ways we could have done more for you as we work to ensure we're expanding our efforts. Thanks for the very constructive review.
