Pros

Great team, great people, great company. Internship is about learning, experiencing, and exploring. Everyday as an intern here at Glassdoor, I could feel the heat of energy and passion; the support from everyone; and the spirit of getting everything down perfectly. I'm very honored to be the first UX/UI Design Intern and learned a lot from everyone on the team. Special thanks to my mentor Jennifer. Thanks for all your kind help and support.

Cons

The office is in Mill Valley, miles north of San Francisco. Commute could be painful if you take public transportation.

Thank you for leaving your review of experience on the Glassdoor SDR team. I'm very happy to read that you feel the encouragement to innovate and succeed and that you're excited about the product. In the time that I've been here the product and culture has changed tremendously and always for the better. As you mentioned in your advice section, we definitely need to build on our community as we grow. Back when we were just 50 people we had a similar community feel so hearing that you want this to continue, given that we've grown so much, makes me hopeful. You mention a few things in your cons and I'll try to address them briefly here. First, yes there have been occasional flooding of the entrance to the parking lot of our Mill Valley office. However for all the readers here, I want to clarify that our building is not flooding at all! We are safe and dry. During one period a year, we are sometimes effected by what is called a "king tide" which, combined with rain, sometimes means that during high tide we are temporarily unable to exit the parking lot. Our facilities department has taken steps like setting up tide cameras and alerts to limit the impact on our daily work. One of the benefits though of working so close to the water is that we can have 1:1s while walking around beautiful Mill Valley. As far as your mention about the salary, I imagine that you are referring to the base compensation as opposed to overall compensation, which includes a variable bonus based on achievement to goal. We strive here to set very realistic expectations of compensation for the SDRs who join our team. Part of this transparency starts by setting realistic targets and accelerators that incentivize SDRs to overachieve. So I would say that we are competitive in a very transparent way. We’ve had many SDRs join our team with other offers in hand because they saw growth opportunity here, a learning-based and collaborative sales culture, and a saw the very real possibility to hit and exceed their compensation targets. Now with that said, quota is not easy, and it never should be. Our quota is realistic, challenging and rewarding. In my experience nothing easy ever caused me to grow. I know that SDRs can say that at Glassdoor they've overcome challenges they never knew they could and are a better salesperson because of it. Ok, now my response is getting far longer than I had intended it but I’ll end it with a sincere thank you for the review and for sharing both the positive and constructive. We’re always striving to make this a better place and create an environment where we’re all better together. Thank you, Eric Associate Director Sales Development

Pros

Glassdoor Europe is a start-up within a start-up. Every single person makes a real difference and the growth opportunities are endless as we continue to expand in Europe and globally. The culture is great, fun, supportive, and the training program is incredible and sets you up for success. Great central London office location, fun team events, collaborative environment in the office - Glassdoor invests in each employee's success and happiness, and that's visible in the way people come to work every day, enthusiastic about the job they do.

Cons

This is not a negative for me but we are growing rapidly and building the framework of Glassdoor Europe as we grow, and sometimes you end up buying office supplies and snacks in addition to doing your full time job. If you'd rather have a team of people responsible for everything from office management to IT and you're not prepared to roll up your sleeves and pitch in this might not be the right place for you at this stage of our growth. The US office has amazing perks and we know we will get there too but we are still in the hyper growth stage so wellness programs and catered lunch every day are still not available to our office - but it's reassuring to look to our US colleagues and see where we'll be able to get to!

Thanks for your review - we've worked really hard to build an entrepreneurial start-up culture within our London office and I'm so happy that it's working for you. You're right that the London office is different in many ways to head office in California - we're a long way behind in terms of scale which means there aren't quite as many perks and everyone sometimes has to pitch in. But in return, you get to be at the start of building something special and have a real chance to help shape the culture of the office. Every time I visit I'm struck by the energy of the team there, and that makes me so excited about the business we are building. I hope you continue to share that excitement.
