Pros

Everyone is so friendly and passionate about helping the company. I feel that everyone has an open door policy and wants to help and chat. Even with all the work I have, I never feel like i am alone in it. Fun atmosphere and activities. Great Benefits.

Cons

We are in growth mode, which is a positive, but it does mean hard work is necessary. No one is just sitting around, so anyone who is lazy won't be a good fit.

Pros

There's quite a few- let's see: - Expectations are made very clear and there's an ongoing discussion about progress towards goals with a focus on solutions rather than setbacks - I've rarely encountered any negativity; people are incredibly upbeat and encouraging - People here work together with a common purpose and are happy to reach out for help or with it- just don't be afraid to ask - Great transparency about the direction of the company and where your specific team fits into the larger picture - Even though we are rapidly growing, the people here are always friendly and it feels like a tight-knit community - The company makes a point to listen to how people feel about the culture here and makes adjustments accordingly - Hey benefits. . . love these (although some commuter benefits would be nice too) - No lies about the flexible work schedule; as long as the goals are being met, they don't mind how you get there (no micromanagement shows that they trust their employees enough to treat them like adults) - Dog friendly office! Snacks!

Cons

Not quite as many here: - Location is beautiful, but a bit of a trek from the city or the east bay - Some positions seem to have more room for growth than others and it'd be nice to have more clarity on how to move around from within as well as learning opportunities for those of us interested in continuing in this industry

Thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear Glassdoor's culture is working for you! Career growth is very important to us, both because it's the only way to keep talented people, but also because it's much safer to promote someone internally than attempt to hire from outside the company. Obviously, as fast as we are growing, we can't always grow from within, but it's definitely our first choice. Make sure to have a candid conversation with your manager about career growth, they should be open to it, and the two of you should work out a plan. If that doesn't happen, feel free to come and see me. Thanks - robert

Pros

Honestly, I've never been so happy at any other company. I've always wanted to work for a rapidly growing start-up where your work can have a direct impact to a company's bottom line. Glassdoor is the company I've been working for. I believe the CEO and our executive team are leading this company in the right direction, never forgetting why Glassdoor exists in the first place - which is to help everyone find the jobs and companies they love. I often times have a hard time telling my friends how great my company actually is. There's no other place like it. LOVE IT

Cons

Sometimes I question whether we are trying to hire people too quickly and we compromise quality. However, management tends to figure out quickly who isn't fitting in well.
