Great run

Business Outlook

Pros

Glassdoor was a great place to work, but leadership made poor decisions around the direction of the products.

Cons

Product didn't evolve at all in 12-13 years. Execs made one big bet and it failed miserably. Simple as that.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people, generous time off and low pressure environment.

Cons

Constantly change priorities, project started and stoped due to lack of direction from management. Multiple rounds of layoffs which lead to a major brain drain. Over all down beat feeling coming from upper management leading to expecting a layoff at anytime.

It’s great to hear that you experienced the generosity and support of our teams, even during challenging times. I also recognize the frustration that can come from shifting priorities and project changes. In technology, choosing the right long-term bets is essential. We’re focused on sharpening our strategy so that our efforts create lasting value for the business and our customers. AI is one piece of the puzzle, but we’re also investing in solutions that drive sustainable growth and meaningful impact. Feedback like this highlights the need for clarity and steady execution, and those remain key priorities as we move forward. - Rodrigo Oliveira | Chief Technology Officer, Glassdoor
