Pros

Super easy sales - You close sales in 2-3 calls for Small or Medium Businesses. - Pipeline is always moving because of the quick sales cycle. - Everyone knows who Glassdoor is so when you are on the call it's always warm. - Monthly quotas keep you motivated the whole quarter long which creates a fast-paced environment Great culture for growing a career - More than anything, people aren't judgemental. Be yourself and no one will give you a hard time. - Managers have your back. - You never feel like anyone is looking over your shoulder. - You can expect to be promoted every 12 months if you're doing well and the managers like you. - You learn sales methods from professional programs instead of learning everything on your own. - People are suuuuuuuper friendly and helpful - If you like to drink, the SF culture just seems to drink a ton so get ready for that - There's an SF office, a Chicago office, and a few international offices. If you want to transfer offices, live in London, etc. Glassdoor is actually open to it! Perks and Benefits - CATERED MEALS are AMAZING! They've really found caterers who bring you great food every single day - Health, Dental, Life is all covered for you and partially covered for family members but it's top-of-the-line insurance providers - Work-Life Balance is something you determine with your manager. If you want to come in early and leave early, great. If not, most are expected to be here from 8-5 with an hour lunch. However, if you ever need to leave or stay home or go on a trip, they are super flexible and don't give you a hard time. Leadership - They've had their struggles in the past but recognize that and have changed a TON. - The VP of Sales will actually sit in a room with sales reps and ask them what needs to be changed and they actually listen. - The CEO listens to feedback and consistently is trying to improve transparency and communication. He's also just a genuinely good guy.

Cons

Here are the few I've found - This place is LIBERAL. Good for half of you, maybe bad for the other half of you. All of SF is really liberal in general but if you're already living here then you're used to it. People aren't judgemental if you are republican, but I feel like you'll just hear a lot of left-wing chatter and that might bug some right-wing folks. - This place DRINKS! Once agian, good for some, maybe not for others. If you don't drink or don't want to be around people who do, maybe Glassdoor isn't for you. Once again, no one will judge at all if you don't, but there is a lot of that here. - Leadership is still making changes to improve compensation and I would say change in general is a minor challange. - Some leaders don't seem super strong, you know? Like, they aren't the type of people everyone wants to follow. - Compensation is enough to get by, but could be better. Like I said, they are making changes to get you more money. - If you perform, you'll get promoted. But there is definitely a "cultural fit" aspect to promotions as well. So know that to get promoted, managers will definitely have to like you. If you aren't likeable, you might not even get hired so...... nevermind

Thanks for the detailed review! I'm pumped that it seems like you've found a great home in Sales at Glassdoor. We're always working to make things better based on feedback from the team. Appreciate that you called out our culture as a big part of making Glassdoor a great place to grow your career. I agree! Also, yes the caterers have been great lately (yea!). We'll keep working on making our sales floor a place where everyone can feel comfortable and be successful. If you have anything else you like to share, come find me or send me an email. Thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

-Family: I say this all the time, but the employees at Glassdoor are not just that. We are really like a family--and we genuinely care about each other & enjoy each other. To me, that is the best part about waking up and coming to work every morning. And on top of that, our leadership truly cares about us as well. Our CEO, Robert, may not know everyone's face, but he knows every name (pretty incredible in a company of 800 people). -Perks: From incredible health insurance to the ability to wear jeans & flip-flops to the catered lunches, we really do have a good amount of perks & benefits. We are pretty transparent with the fact that we may not pay at the tip-top of the scale (it's still pretty good though!), but we have other things to make up for that. Stock options, flexible vacation policy, ability to work from home if needed. -Autonomy: One of things I appreciate about Glassdoor is that they let you do you. I have rarely (if ever) felt micro-managed. On the AM side, we are truly the leaders of our own book and are empowered to treat our accounts & clients & schedules in the way we think is best. I hear about a lot of other companies where managers get involved in every little issue, call, deal, etc. but our leadership respects our decisions.

Cons

-We are still a start-up, so change is going to happen. A lot. If you can't roll with the punches, then this may be a hard place to be. With that being said, we change so much because leadership actually listens to us and our needs & concerns. We constantly make changes to territories, comp structure, support, etc. so we can grow & scale and still provide the employees with what we need. -Because there is so much change, it is sometimes hard to get a clear picture on what your career path will be or can be at Glassdoor. Things can pop up really quickly, or you may have to wait several months longer than originally planned to get a promo. We do need to do a better job of preparing people for career advancement & mentoring them to that next step, providing feedback on where they hit & where they miss, and being upfront.

Pros

Almost 2 years into my employment at Glassdoor and I've decided the excitement of working here isn't a phase. I love the management, they encourage employees to grow and learn with the company. And as fast as I've seen things go I've learned just as much if not more. There is no micromanaging in my department, but rather a trust we are all working together to meet our goals. The director of my department has been the coolest guy and knows how to help the team push for success. 1 year in with this guy and he's built an outstanding team to work with.

Cons

There was a time when I wasn't receiving the feedback I was hoping to improve. But this was not a short coming of management. It was a time of growth and we didn't have anyone leading our team at the time. Upper management was taking the proper lengths to make sure we got the right guy to lead our team
