Pros

$50M in growth for an international expansion - awesome 48% of people NOW use Glassdoor in their job searching process - awesome Name recognition "Glassdoor" is skyrocketing - awesome Basically the company is growing like wild fire, which is..... awesome. In addition, if feels SUPER good to be part of a company who's products actually work! Honestly, I feel 100% confident in selling Glassdoor products, because they have helped every employer I know. And it's great to work for a company where I can come into the office everyday (or work from home), and know that I am helping people everywhere find the jobs and companies they love.

Cons

With great growth, comes some pretty big changes. There's been some good and bad changes to the comp structure of the sales team. Things are getting better, but change is of course not easy. Communication is also getting much harder across the organization, I'm not always aware what the product teams are working on, or what is coming down the pipeline. Also, finding the right person to speak with about x,y, or z may be hard if you're just starting out here. But at least with Glassdoor we maintain a small org feel, so there are still weekly huddles, and I still feel like I can walk into the CEO's office, and talk to him about anything. That's great.

Thanks for the feedback and review. I'm glad to hear the the new comp plan and sales model is working for you. The past three months have definitely seen quite a few changes as we have transitioned to what we believe is the next phase of our sales development. Communication as we scale is one of my highest priorities. I worry about it too. There are many ideas that we have for improving internal communication, and we will continue to push forward on those. thanks again - robert

Pros

There's quite a few- let's see: - Expectations are made very clear and there's an ongoing discussion about progress towards goals with a focus on solutions rather than setbacks - I've rarely encountered any negativity; people are incredibly upbeat and encouraging - People here work together with a common purpose and are happy to reach out for help or with it- just don't be afraid to ask - Great transparency about the direction of the company and where your specific team fits into the larger picture - Even though we are rapidly growing, the people here are always friendly and it feels like a tight-knit community - The company makes a point to listen to how people feel about the culture here and makes adjustments accordingly - Hey benefits. . . love these (although some commuter benefits would be nice too) - No lies about the flexible work schedule; as long as the goals are being met, they don't mind how you get there (no micromanagement shows that they trust their employees enough to treat them like adults) - Dog friendly office! Snacks!

Cons

Not quite as many here: - Location is beautiful, but a bit of a trek from the city or the east bay - Some positions seem to have more room for growth than others and it'd be nice to have more clarity on how to move around from within as well as learning opportunities for those of us interested in continuing in this industry

Thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear Glassdoor's culture is working for you! Career growth is very important to us, both because it's the only way to keep talented people, but also because it's much safer to promote someone internally than attempt to hire from outside the company. Obviously, as fast as we are growing, we can't always grow from within, but it's definitely our first choice. Make sure to have a candid conversation with your manager about career growth, they should be open to it, and the two of you should work out a plan. If that doesn't happen, feel free to come and see me. Thanks - robert

Pros

Mostly nice people Comfortable work environment Lots of nice perks like healthy food, yoga, celebrations and fun parties Ability to listen to employees - one example - short company update meetings Good products

Cons

Unbelievably huge workload ... the elephant in the room that no one discussed ... acted like business as usual. Barely left seat for meals, bathroom breaks, meetings. Engineering / Product group not terribly communicative about product changes ... got better over time.
