Trifecta - Big Opportunity, Strong Mission AND a Great Culture

Senior vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

What is rare about glassdoor is how connected every employee is to our mission. It gives each person tremendous fulfillment that their time here is well spent - we are helping people everywhere find the job they will LOVE. Glassdoor has a big opportunity to disrupt the $100B recruiting market. Great product with next to no competition. Lots of energy and enthusiasm. Still early enough for new employees to have a BIG impact on our future. Strong founding team who are smart, proven and who take the time to get to know the employees. On the path to IPO and beyond.

Cons

Depending on where you live in SF Bay Area, it can be hard to get to Sausalito. Many folks commute from over an hour away. Of course, once you are there...it is hard to beat the views.

Working out the kinks, but still offering impressive opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

Glassdoor has a very casual, laid back office environment. Unlimited paid time off, which ensures no one really takes vacation (perception is reality, so this is a positive). If you apply yourself, work hard and can find your own answers, many opportunities for advancement are made available.

Cons

Company is rather siloed across departments, making cross-department collaboration very difficult at times. Recent growth seeks to change this, however history has formerly told a different story.

Pros

I actually love coming to work every day! Glassdoor is one of those special companies that you read about, but don't think actually exist. It feels like each one of us has serious ownership in the direction of the company. Here are the best things about Glassdoor: -Truly world-class people. The smartest, hardest working, best team I have ever been a part of top to bottom. Plus, the people are super fun! -An awesome mission that we all live by. We want to democratize information about working at companies and we are crushing it. We help people make one of the more important decisions of their lives easier. -A killer product that tons of people use. When I tell people I work at Glassdoor almost everyone says "oh cool, I used it in my last job search..." -A lot of autonomy. This is not a micromanage kind of place. Our sales team culture is: run your business, crush your number, have fun doing it, be a good person. -Equity. The executives invest in its employees and as a result we are all very invested in the success of the company

Cons

We are growing and we are growing fast. I have been here for fewer than 6 months and I have had 2 managers, 3 comp plans, and a whole lot of change. The change is definitely a good thing for our company and for the sales team, but massive change is a fact of life here.
