Great Company and then It wasn't

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.

Pros

The biggest positive working at Glassdoor was the people. I was fortunate to work with some extremely talented and passionate colleagues in GTM that truly cared about the company mission. Additionally, I had some truly supportive and empathetic managers throughout my experience that helped me grow my skills and find success.

Cons

Upper-Management would continually move the goal posts for our growth strategy, but the the directives were very surface-level and hyped up without any meaningful strategy. As we got closer to the recent lay-off/restructuring, it became an environment filled with micromanaging admin tasks and management punching down from the pressures they were undoubtedly receiving from the executive teams. Most (if not all) of the individual contributors could see the warning signs, but leadership became disengaged and unresponsive to our concerns as we approached the latest layoff event.
