      Pros

      I've been at Glassdoor London longer than anyone else and feel that I am qualified to give a balanced opinion based on a number of different team changes and a significant amount of growth over time. I fully believe that Glassdoor is destined for greatness on a global scale and I personally enjoy working here very much. I look forward to every day, I understand and support the mission of the company, I know how I can make a difference and my goals are clear. I feel like I am well supported by my manager and wider team in the US and I also feel like the work-life balance is good. Our benefits program is slowly improving but the main benefit for me are the share options, which I value highly. The culture in London is good (in my opinion) although perhaps a work in progress. We get together and socialise pretty regularly. We always have team events in the pipeline and I enjoy everyone's company in the office. Some of us have been around for a while now and, just as with any company, others have left for various reasons. It hasn't worked out for some people, but at the end of the day, that's life. Glassdoor isn't for everyone and some people have probably had a pretty rough time and struggled, but I have thrived here. I feel appreciated by the CEO and in return I feel a strong sense of loyalty. There's no magic formula: if you like your job and you are good at it, you do well.

      Cons

      Let's be honest, we're not there yet, in terms of where I want Glassdoor to be in Europe nor where I thought we would be at this point in 2017. As a company, we're having to re-focus and set ourselves up for success, and I accept that. This is quite normal for a hyper-growth company. I'm not concerned about our strategy or momentum, but it doesn't mean that I'm not fed up about being temporarily restricted in terms of my scope. My hours can be quite long and there is certainly a lot of scrutiny and pressure. However, I've always felt that I can take the time I need to recharge as well as have flexible working. If you like an all-singing, all-dancing benefits scheme, everything on a plate, easy-sell corporate environment with massive salaries, then Glassdoor is not for you. If you don't mind pushing the envelope and you are resilient enough to rough it a bit on the journey, then Glassdoor could take you into a new league in terms of what you thought you could achieve and where you thought your career could go. You need to see the bigger picture and not get caught up on little things if you want to be satisfied working here. I actually like this in a way because it filters out those that can't, or are not willing, to go the distance.

      As one of our first hires in the UK, I salute you for taking on the unknown and setting us up for success in our first-ever European office. You point to a hardworking scrappy environment that I cherish and appreciate you cultivating. You also point to areas where we can get better - we’re taking in your feedback so we can continue to get better and create an all around great working environment. We want you feel successful both in the work you do and where you do the work.

      There are dogs. There are politics. There are free lunches.

      Pros

      I work with some great people. Glassdoor offers a good number of perks that are great if you can step away from work and take advantage. I have had the opportunity to see a company grow and the good and bad you face through that growth. I have learned a lot about navigating the politics of the workplace which will benefit me in during the rest of my time here.

      Cons

      It's frustrating to try and make a difference when you are constantly cleaning up broken pieces. Great work doesn't seem to be a priority. The word firedrill is a daily constant. The leadership at Glassdoor use to seem really great and I felt supported by it. Lately it feels as if every team is trying to prove why they are winning by pointing out how other departments are losing and politics are everywhere.

      Things can always be fixed. And there are always things that need to be fixed. Staying focused, and building healthy teams is critical to success in every business. This is the responsibility of leadership up and down the business and of every employee. Where you see unhealthy interactions happening speak up. Where things feel bad, speak up. And, continue to contribute as you are. The bigger we get, the more we need to communicate and work together. Talk to your manager. Talk to our team mates. We're all in this together.

      Engineering leadership is suffering

      Pros

      The people are the best to work with.

      Cons

      Engineering leadership is a shadow of what it used to be and the department is suffering as a result. As the review from March 16th pointed out, the recent round of layoffs seem to target a bunch of the top performers to make room to promote yes-men in their place. Morale has been falling for at least a year and engineering leadership either doesn’t know how to fix it, or doesn’t care. Either way is a bad sign.
