Pros

The people in this company are solid. There is a really good mission and a product that people need. Really important to provide people with all the information about the jobs that they are going to take. The company as a whole takes care of their employees and were early with work from home options and providing flexible options to work.

Cons

The company as a whole is still having trouble switching from start up to larger stable organization. Strategy is a moving target and there is a lingering legacy leadership with Robert and Ryan that have not let go of the company and are holding it back somewhat. Christian (CEO) is still directed by Robert and doesn't really have a handle on the new product needs. Overall the company is still very much focused on business needs to the detriment of the users. There have been many key people to leave recently and there might be more.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that you have been positively impacted by your coworkers. Our Good People are truly what make Glassdoor a special place to work and innovate on behalf of our job seekers who rely on us. Your feedback regarding stability and strategy for the future is noted. While our founder, Robert, is an important and irreplaceable part of who we are at Glassdoor, Christian has been our sole CEO and made his own leadership decisions since being appointed in early 2020. Thanks again for your valuable feedback – we're appreciative of all you've contributed to Glassdoor!

Pros

First off, really, really great benefits, comp isn't super competitive but it's very good and I understand my compensation very well. I also really like the transparency around compensation the company just undertook. I love my coworkers, most people are here to do good work and collaborate. Department leadership genuinely cares when there is tension or conflict and works to improve our communication, systems or team setup to mitigate friction. I like my day to day work, it's a good mix of foundational work like creating datasets or dashboard, and more analytic/ML work like building models or analyzing patterns. My manager sets me up for success and trusts me to do my job. Glassdoor takes people management seriously (at least it seems so from my team) and asks managers to really commit to being people managers. My boss cares about my career and has helped me work towards not just my Glassdoor goals but my personal career goals. GD is also flexible on things like taking an afternoon off for a doctor's appointment or changing your working hours to fit your schedule. I'm able to block off time in the middle of the day to go grocery shopping when the stores are empty. The Senior Director of D&I really seems to care, I like him a lot. I trust Glassdoor to work to make it a more inclusive workplace, but we have a lot way to go to be someplace that's comfortable for oft-marginalized people.

Cons

There's a limit to the flexibility. I don't have kids but I've witnessed some stress among my coworkers with kids with WFH/stay-at- home orders/daycare shutdowns. There's acknowledgement that folks may be less productive but no reduction in workload. Deadlines seem pretty arbitrary, we end up stressed out particularly around hitting product-based deadline when it seems the deadline just comes from "it's on the roadmap". Based on my work experience, this is very typical in software companies, but Glassdoor is generally smart so I don't understand why we can't get over this very very typical flaw. Corporate leadership talks the talk about caring about our mental health during mandatory WFH but we haven't really slowed down the pace of work at all (the thing that would do the most to help us cope during a one-in-a-lifetime period of stress and sadness). The layoffs over the summer were really sad :(.
