Lacking Internal Communication

Pros

Tons of pros. Great people. Great Culture, snacks, flexibility with managers on work schedules. Fairness and mutual respect amongst employees.

Cons

Working in Customer Services/Success, it is a huge recurring problem that changes with the website's features are not communicated to us, the workforce that faces customers and salespeople and account managers. Customer Success members are held accountable to customers, prospects and the salespeople who manage those accounts. When changes in website profile usability are made (from the front-end and back-end) the changes are almost never communicated with us. We look like absolute fools to our customers, unable to answer questions, because we don't know if the changes made are bugs/glitches or intentional changes. Then we wait on an answer from Engineering, reducing our productivity.

Hi - You are right, this is a problem. I'm going to ask Product to spearhead communicating better here. We can do better. I apologize for putting you in a tough spot. --robert

Pros

When I started here a few years ago, we were a scrappy startup, flying by the seat of our pants, growing like crazy, and moving a million miles an hour. It was fun, but it was a mess. As someone who cares deeply about the success of this company, and about our mission, I'm really glad to see us being more measured, judicious, organized, and efficient. Also, when I joined, the product vision was controlled by a clique of the "OG" leaders who had been with the company since the very early days. As we've grown up, we've hired more outsiders into product leadership roles, and developed more of a diversity of opinions. When this change started, people were scared. But it's clear that having more smart people collaborating is making us stronger and smarter and more creative. I've never been more excited about the stuff I'm working on here than I am right now, and I've never been more optimistic about Glassdoor's future.

Cons

The transition to being a grown-up company has been trying at times. Even though we're changing for the better, change is always hard. And some people are unhappy about it (click the "Ratings Trends" link next to the star rating above -- looks pretty bad these days). The real turbulence is happening in the sales org and not product/engineering, so I can't really speak to it. On the tech side, we're humming. But churn/turnover, and a small, vocal group of unhappy sales people does take a real toll on everyone's morale.

Pros

The people who work here are for the most part extremely smart, driven, and really care about the business. Their connection to the culture, leadership team, and our mission is clear and helps during those times when the hours are long and the work hard - which they can be in a rapidly As we evolve, the founders and executive leadership team have been humble enough to admit that they don't know everything, showing this most recently with the hire of several new exec leaders to round out the team. Work life balance and ease while at work (lunch every day, ridiculous snacks and drinks) are encouraged and at the individual team member level almost expected. Finally, openness and innovation are encouraged. We know that it takes a village and everyone needs to be thinking creatively about how we run our business to keep it moving at this pace.

Cons

We are growing and when there is immense growth, there are pains associated with becoming a 'grown up' company. Glassdoor is right in the middle of that right now. Leaders are doing their best in preparing for the change with changes to structure, processes, comp plans, etc but there is a subset of the team members who are still attached to the Glassdoor 2012 ways. Yes, the culture was great but evolution is needed to move to the next level. The legacy team member base tends to be entitled, putting in less hours, really not connecting to the new mission and goals, because they want to keep the company in its teens. When leadership makes a change that appears to be painful for team members, those people complain within the office, post on here and as a result things are changed to the 'softer, gentler' old way. We can't continue to grow where the squeaky wheel always gets the oil. Engineering resources are low - as is in most companies. We need a team of people who can fix customer bugs and continue to innovate. While our Engineers are smart and can execute, the product growth in to the Enterprise space has been slower because there just aren't enough of them to build. Salaries are lower than market. This is a known and was acceptable prior because many of those earlier team members got a bunch of equity and the perks were great. One of those perks is the perceived 'unlimited PTO' which is not really unlimited, it's Open with Manager discretion. This was misinterpreted by team members to mean all the vacation you could consume regardless of business impact. That's caused some concerns from the vantage point of keeping the business moving as quickly as possible. Lack of strong leadership led to this and now there's clean up involved to get everyone back on track.

I agree with you 100% when you say, " We know that it takes a village and everyone needs to be thinking creatively about how we run our business to keep it moving at this pace." We are weathering an enormous amount of change. It's incredibly exciting. And it won't be without it's bumps. We're hiring and growing at an incredible pace. In the last few months we've opened new offices in Chicago, Dublin and London. To keep things moving smoothly, we need smart processes designed to support our momentum. To ensure our market leadership, we need employees who are fully committed, who come in everyday with big ideas and big ambitions and who are excited about what's ahead. It's going to be a wild ride. Thanks for being on this journey with us.
