      STILL in love with Glassdoor

      Pros

      After 4.5 years at Glassdoor, I STILL think about how lucky I am to be part of such an amazing company. Why is it amazing? I am constantly reminded that I'm working towards our mission. We are helping people everywhere find the jobs and companies that they love. That means we're helping some negotiate their salaries - even the last $1 for an hour! That makes a huge difference in the lives of people. We are helping them master the interview process, and land their dream job. The reviews genuinely help people make a GOOD choices, and help companies make GOOD choices internally so they can always improve. I'm inspired by this everyday. Other than the mission, I believe the leaders are so strong. Robert inspires me every time I hear him talk. He's also very approachable at every level of the company. I've seen a sales rep talk to him in the lunch room about changing a small feature on our website - the next day, the problem is solved! I also think that our sales team and leaders are steeped in GRIT, and that is inspiring. I think that their are always going to be ups and downs in start-ups, change is the only constant, it will always be a roller coaster. But I am happy to be on this roller coaster with such fun and hardworking colleagues. I am always inspired by people who punch above their weight class and take on tasks far outside of their job description to help improve the company. From a woman's perspective; I've had two babies while being employed by Glassdoor, and I am so thankful by how supportive Glassdoor was for both. I was welcomed back to work after 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, and I was excited to be back. It's also nice to know that they really try to hire a lot of strong female leaders across the org.

      Cons

      I don't think any company can say that they are perfect, and we have all made our fair share of mistakes. I think Glassdoor tries to learn quickly from their mistakes and pivot or change as needed. We have hired so many smart and gung-ho people in the last year that it has been hard to get everyone up to speed quickly which I would say has caused some "growing pains". But I think we are now set up well to scale. I also think we could do a better job of creating career paths within certain roles across the org to ensure that we are striving to improve ourselves, and hang on to our best people. For example, creating salary bands, bumps, etc - especially for sales.

      Thank you very much for your feedback and your leadership! To see people succeed and flourish and improve their careers while driving our mission is very rewarding and great to see that this still drives you after 4.5 years! Career progression and paths are an area we are working to focus in conjunction with HR and our functional departments as we move into the new year.

      Thanks for sharing your review - I'm proud of what we're building in Dublin. It's true we don't yet the same perks as the US office - but what we can offer is a true start-up experience where individuals can make a real difference to how we grow and evolve. I think that's tremendously exciting. Thanks for the reminder to listen - also don't be shy about approaching me or any of the local leadership team with your ideas to make things better. Diarmuid

      Best Job I've Ever Had!

      Pros

      - You will work with some of the smartest, most genuine people ever at Glassdoor. People care, and it shows. Glassdoor is like a family, on the DemandGen team in particular. Everyone is friends and hangs out after work. We celebrate the wins (and handle the failures) together - you will never be alone here. - Team happy hours are plentiful, the company takes time to celebrate with picnics, holiday parties and milestones. You’ll feel recognized and appreciated with all of the emails teams send around to each other praising each other, BAMF celebrations on the sales floor and how much people are genuinely looking out for each other. - People here are scrappy. They will drop what they’re doing to help you out. Great people are hard to come by, but Glassdoor truly has a lot of them. - Amazing benefits - Unlimited PTO (that people actually use), 100% covered health care, fully stocked kitchens and free lunch every day, dogs in the office, 401(k), etc. - Our Mill Valley HQ is beautiful, right on the water, has tons of walking paths around the buildings and it’s so nice getting out of the city each day and driving over the bridge to come to work. - We’re building something great, and you can feel that the people here truly believe in what we’re working towards and ultimately believe Glassdoor helps people find jobs and companies they love. It feels good coming to work every day knowing that you’re making an impact. - Your career will skyrocket here. Young employees are given a lot of responsibility and held to high standards, but if you rise to the occasion, you are definitely rewarded and promoted. This is the best place to start your career, and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunities this company has given me in the past 2+ years.

      Cons

      - Work/life balance is a thing, for some people in some departments. But in others, you’re praised for working well into the night, being online on weekends or working on vacations. It’s not healthy, people are burning out, and we need managers to insist people have a work/life balance again. I’ve seen many people just on my immediate team have to take emergency vacations or days off because they’re so physically and emotionally stressed and drained, and it’s definitely concerning. - Morale is low right now. Companies go through ebbs and flows, and this is definitely a hard time across the company in terms of turnover and morale. But, as long as people stay calm and believe in this company (and stick through it) I believe it can (and will) turn around. - Lack of diversity.

      Thank you so much for this review. I feel very lucky to work at Glassdoor for all the reasons you have outlined and I’m happy you feel that Glassdoor and our team are like family. I know that this team is feeling the pressure of our rapid growth, which is even more pronounced during our busiest time of the year. I appreciate the amazing effort and passion that everyone brings to this company everyday to realize our aggressive goals, but I want to be sure we're not running this team so hot that people are burning out. I’m working very hard with the other leaders on this team to improve processes, redistribute work, and restore work/life balance in areas where it is challenged. I think we've already made some positive changes here, and I will continue to commit to this effort and check in regularly to see how we're doing.
