Pros

Glassdoor is the best company I've ever worked at. The commitment to work-life balance, the camaraderie, the feeling that your coworkers truly care about you and have your back... these things are truly unmatched. This kind of culture is only possible when the people around you genuinely like their jobs and genuinely like each other. Product in particular is uniquely great at Glassdoor because unlike other tech companies, our PMs have a direct hand in influencing & shaping the overall product strategy.

Cons

Product & Engineering has SUCH a great workplace culture... which means that no one wants to leave. This can pose some challenges with regards to upwards mobility as our org becomes increasingly top-heavy.

Pros

Working at Glassdoor is challenging yet very rewarding. There is a high bar in terms of performance, but also plenty of support from everyone around you to reach that bar. There are Good People everywhere and it really feels like we are heading in a good direction both in our technical foundations and our product.

Cons

One small thing is that over time we have slipped a bit on our goals around Transparency, I think this is mostly a function of being fully remote, and it is being worked on, but its something I've noticed.

Pros

Our values are grit, transparency, innovation and good people. We live those values daily.

Cons

Our focus on the future is solid as we build forward but the messy middle can be challenging as priorities shift quickly and the focus is heavily B2C vs B2B.
