Pros

Being an HR Practitioner working in an HR Tech company is a dream; working at Glassdoor where our mission is to help people find a job and company they love is the cherry on top! The People team is transitioning to be much more strategic thought partners to the business, such a great time to be at a company when you can get your fingerprints all over a new way of working! All employees have direct lines of communication to the CEO and everyone in between. We have a super flexible work environment, amazing benefits, open PTO, 401k match...

Cons

2020 has brought a lot of changes (to the world) and to Glassdoor; we need to ruthlessly prioritize and focus. It's easy sometimes to get enamored by the bright shiny objects.

Pros

-Many Director and below people were great to work with. They cared and understood the challenges we faced everyday selling Glassdoor. -Work Life Balance -Nice office

Cons

-Product is pretty weak and there was barely anything done to make it substantially better. -VP and up seemed out of touch often. Especially with the Chicago office. -Christian seems like a "nice guy" but not sure if he was ready to take this on yet. Before Covid, Glassdoor wasn't performing that well. So I don't think a lot of people were shocked when they let 1/3 of the company go, even after saying we were in a good place weeks before. - SOPS was horrible. CS was understaffing and under trained. - This was a place to meet nice people, get a paycheck, move up and move on. There wasn't any innovation to sink your career in at Glassdoor (If Glassdoor ever does hire again, I would not have expectations beyond that). ** IF you're in the Bay, I'd never work at Glassdoor (too many better options with better pay). If you're in Chicago maybe consider, to move up and move out.**

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. In recent years, I don’t disagree that Glassdoor has not focused enough on innovating from its core, in the products and content that make Glassdoor stand out from the crowd. And that needed to change. That is why earlier this year we renewed our focus to invest much more in what differentiates Glassdoor and in the areas in which we can truly be the best in the world. And while we had shared in our monthly All Hands that we’d seen this crisis have a considerable impact on our company, I hear your feedback that we could’ve been more clear. As you move forward, we wish you all the best and we’re here to be a support to you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor
