Cons

Unfortunalely because of the covid crisis, they laid off a lot of people.

Great Company to Work For

Customer success manager

Pros

Glassdoor gave me so many opportunities to be successful and I'm glad I could grow along with the company for so many years. I've had the pleasure of working with great managers and sales counterparts over the years. It's truly a great place to work. Plus, helping people find jobs and companies they love is a very rewarding company mission.

Cons

- The product is getting stale and it's hard to keep customers excited about what's going on at Glassdoor when there isn't a whole lot being added to the platform. - The partnership with Indeed can be very hard to manage. We're supposed to be a client's recruiting and employer branding "team" but that is rarely the case. - The layoffs last year left a bad taste in my mouth, so to say. It was hard to imagine a long term career at Glassdoor after that happened even though I wasn't laid off. - Compensation is good but not good enough to keep top performers around.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly to share any thoughts you may have about how we can strengthen this partnership. Finally, one of my top priorities is not only ensuring you have a clear career path at Glassdoor, but also that you feel fairly compensated.

Business Outlook

Pros

Healthy, intentional culture that has the best aspects of a stable enterprise married with a scrappy, growing startup. Work/life balance is strongly encouraged which is table stakes as a father with a young child. Fantastic onboarding experience. Training content is comprehensive and engaging and leaders/peers are eager to help, whether that be with questions, 1:1's, shadowing, etc. Indeed partnership and integration has been far from smooth but both sides are finally getting their homes in order and there are tremendous opportunities for the business heading into 2022 and beyond.

Cons

Downside to the ever-evolving Indeed partnership is that there are still inefficiencies to work out, but leadership is open and aware of what needs to be improved and streamlined. Delta variant has thrown reopening and travel plans out of the window (no fault of GD) so there's an opportunity for further transparency around future implications.

Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. It is wonderful to hear that you are excited about our future and the intentional, people-first culture we continue to build and protect here at Glassdoor. I am also so happy to hear that you feel supported in your work / life balance needs as you prioritize your family and other areas of your life in addition to work. That is a core component of our values and I strongly encourage you to continue to find the balance you need to ensure you are fulfilled both professionally and personally. I do also understand that our partnership with our sister Company Indeed still has room for optimization. I agree that there is still an opportunity to make the partnership even stronger and more seamless. I am glad to know you feel this feedback is being heard and prioritized by your leaders so we can capture those opportunities for improvement. Thank you again for your feedback and being a part of this Glassdoor journey. I am so happy you are here! - Molly McKinstry, VP Global Sales
