Pros

They promote a healthy and productive environment for all employees. The pay is good and the people are nice. They have great opportunities for advancement.

Cons

There's a lot to be done and not always enough people to do it Demanding pace so hard to keep up at times Not a lot of integration between the marketing and engineering teams. Not all departments work cohesively which can cause issues.

Pros

Some of the best people I've ever worked with. I genuinely get along with all the colleagues at Glassdoor and have built personal relationships with a lot of them, including those in upper management. It is a very humble and bright group of employees. I feel challenged everyday and like I'm helping make a big difference in people's career choices, which is all I can ask for. I love that the company is built on transparency and definitely lives and breathes these principals, which is so refreshing. I'm learning so much and am so happy to be a part of something so new and different.

Cons

There is a little disorganization in the process and it definitely has a start up feel. If you are not someone that is proactive in paving your own way in a role than this is not the place for you. It definitely requires a high level of organization and the ability to come up with new ideas and be proactive. People are stretched thin, so you need to be able to find answers on your own at times. It's a lot of work and the 8am calls are tough, but it's worth it.

Great start-up, poised for the next stage of growth

Pros

Glassdoor is a start-up that has proven to meet a consumer need. We have established ourselves as the place to go to research jobs and companies. And there is huge upside from here. The team is still small enough that every single person in the company plays a meaningful role. But we're expanding which will allow for more career growth. Our product is about transparency of information for employees. We embrace that value internally. We hold regular meetings where all details about the state of the company are shared.

Cons

The fast pace of start-up isn't for everyone. Be prepared for rapid change and being flexible with your role. Everyone here has to be willing to roll up his/her sleeves and get dirty.
