Pros

Glassdoor is a small company with big ideas. The environment here is extremely collaborative and it seems that all of the people and departments are focused on the common goal of making this the best company possible. The compensation and benefits are competitive and there is a ton of upside and career growth opportunities.

Cons

Glassdoor has growing pains just like any other startup. We are moving fast and means that things are not always perfect. But, if you are looking for a fast-paced, start up environment, this is it.

Pros

$50M in growth for an international expansion - awesome 48% of people NOW use Glassdoor in their job searching process - awesome Name recognition "Glassdoor" is skyrocketing - awesome Basically the company is growing like wild fire, which is..... awesome. In addition, if feels SUPER good to be part of a company who's products actually work! Honestly, I feel 100% confident in selling Glassdoor products, because they have helped every employer I know. And it's great to work for a company where I can come into the office everyday (or work from home), and know that I am helping people everywhere find the jobs and companies they love.

Cons

With great growth, comes some pretty big changes. There's been some good and bad changes to the comp structure of the sales team. Things are getting better, but change is of course not easy. Communication is also getting much harder across the organization, I'm not always aware what the product teams are working on, or what is coming down the pipeline. Also, finding the right person to speak with about x,y, or z may be hard if you're just starting out here. But at least with Glassdoor we maintain a small org feel, so there are still weekly huddles, and I still feel like I can walk into the CEO's office, and talk to him about anything. That's great.

Thanks for the feedback and review. I'm glad to hear the the new comp plan and sales model is working for you. The past three months have definitely seen quite a few changes as we have transitioned to what we believe is the next phase of our sales development. Communication as we scale is one of my highest priorities. I worry about it too. There are many ideas that we have for improving internal communication, and we will continue to push forward on those. thanks again - robert

Pros

It's great to work for a company that is providing real value to the world. It's also great to be working at a place with so much experience. The CEO has been in this rodeo before (and been successful at it) and it shows. He knows what he's doing and the rest of management does too. It's also a family-friendly (and dog-friendly!) environment that respects your life outside of the office.

Cons

It's hard to get to from public transportation (i.e. you can't take MUNI or BART to work).
