Pros

Transparency is taken to another level here. There's lots of room for career growth, and all the managers that I've worked with are always trying to help you grow. Since covid, Glassdoor was one of the first companies to mandate a work from home, and has been super supportive about flexibility and everyone's situation.

Cons

The team structure is constantly changing (which can be a good thing as well), so don't get used to your team, as it will probably change within the next year.

Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience with Glassdoor. There is no value more important to us than of Transparency. It is truly our guiding principle. We believe that, in order to push the boundaries of openness and honesty in the workplace, we should ourselves be continuously committed to learning, collaborating and making the right decisions. As you mention, the COVID-19 pandemic presented the opportunity to practice what we've always preached, so it was crucial for us to address safety measures with our employees as early as possible. We're enormously proud of our many teams for their quick work to support our employees remotely. If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it's the need to remain agile as a company. While we have taken many steps to communicate structural changes with as much notice to our employees as possible, we can certainly continue getting even sharper. In the coming months, we plan to be more focused than ever on collecting feedback from other employees and making sure our employees feel heard. While we will always remain welcome to change at Glassdoor, our hope is to ensure changes are accompanied with clear communication and employees understand how changes could impact them.

Pros

Although a lot has changed this year and it has been and will be a huge challenge, there are still positives at Glassdoor. For my role I feel I am paid fairly and when we had a physical office in Dublin, I felt we were well taken care of in terms of the usual perks (office snacks, team nights out etc). Hopefully the company will find a way to continue that while we work from home for the foreseeable due to COVID-19. In the past I always felt that career opportunities were great at the company - I am unsure if this will continue, but hope it will. At the moment I feel that management and leadership are listening to what we have to say, and our opinions are being taken on board. Working from home has been great and the flexibility that the company has always shown in terms of time off is a huge positive. I am hoping we can continue to work from home on a permanent basis but that is still TBC. Overall I am still happy to be working for Glassdoor but there are huge challenges ahead.

Cons

Let's be honest, the slashing of around 55 jobs in Dublin and 300 globally was handled terribly. It felt like a house we had been building for years had just been hit by a bomb. The announcement was handled badly. We have preached transparency for years and at the moment when we needed it most, leadership failed. The reviews on this page from Dublin pre-March 2020 are now worthless as this is no longer the same company. It is a similar company, but definitely not the same one I have worked in for 4 years . The reorganisation has been a bit of a mess and I think it will be the same for the next 6-9 months. - I guess that is to be expected with such a large change in strategy. Unfortunately with the recent changes, we now have no high level leadership on the ground in EMEA and we have gone back to being led by the US. This did not work in the past, and it wont work going forward. We need someone with overall responsibility for the region to be actually in the region to deal with issues if / when they arise. With the reorganisation, the jobs we were previously doing have changed significantly, and to be honest a lot of us feel like we have been demoted (despite the company message that we have not).

Pros

Unlimited Holiday Flexible Working Lots of Great People Great Product Line

Cons

Lack of transparency when it comes to future planning. Most of us feel like just a number during this transition period and we're doing a lot of hard work for no reward. Lots of change recently and more to come but when it comes to communicating the change it's been horrific. A change is announced then that change changes and then changes again. During some recent changes some of us told SLT here are some problems that we'll face and they were ignored and now the problems are at our door and they're now trying to correct them. All we ask is to be heard and to also know the UK is different to the US. With the new structure the pay and commission is not aligned within teams and it's all but been swept to the side. In many cases we aren't rewarded on all of the work we do and it just gets passed off to someone else to benefit from with the explanation that that's the rules sorry about no exceptions.
