An unfortunate end but great experience

Pros

Company really led with its' values to the very bitter end. It was a great thing until the layoffs.

Cons

There weren't any real cons other than the seismic shifts that were happening with the business regarding its partnership with its parents company. It felt like that a lot of the values that the company was supposed to lead with was also being dictated by the needs of the parent company at times. Timelines for internal promotions were seldom truthful because of business needs. Otherwise, I want nothing more than Glassdoor to weather this storm to the best it can.

Pros

Glassdoor continues to prove to be the best company I've been part of. I joined because of the people, the values, and the mission. Since joining, I have experienced incredible leadership, career development, and built great relationships. We practice what we preach and I've seen continued transparency from our senior leadership and beyond.

Cons

As a large tech company in the recruitment space, it's vital we continue to innovate our product and what we offer the job seeker and companies we partner with. We have transparent leaders who are guiding us through this scaling phase thoughtfully, but there will always be growing pains and areas for improvement.

Pros

Glassdoor is the best place I have ever worked. Beyond the great benefits, Glassdoor prides itself on transparency and inclusion unlike any place I have ever seen before. They truly go out of their way to live their mission internally. The best part about this place though is by far the people. It is a collection of smart, caring, and passionate people that make going to work every day a joy.

Cons

Glassdoor is still getting it's footing post acquisition and creating the path for what the next 5 years will look like. There are the normal bumps that come with that and some uncertainty but I still am bullish on the future.
