Pros

Glassdoor is a company genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of its employees. The company has always shown great compassion and empathy and since the beginning of the pandemic they’ve doubled down on it, making sure we understand how people are feeling, ensure their needs are being met and people have everything they need to be healthy and productive. I love working for a company with such an inspiring mission and with a leadership team that truly cares about it. Very happy and grateful to be here.

Cons

Innovation is at the core of Glassdoor, but being a large enough company, I think we need to make more of an effort to speed up innovation and ensure the whole organization can contribute to it.

Glassdoor Response

Thanks for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to read that you have experienced clear communication and an honest approach to work during your time at Glassdoor. While the global events of 2020 have brought many unforeseen challenges and shifts to Glassdoor, we couldn’t be more proud with how our teams have responded –– with Innovation, Grit, and a renewed commitment to our Glassdoor users. We hope that recent benefit adjustments (open PTO, additional Company Holidays, and WFH stipends, to name a few) have caused you to feel cared for. Thanks again for your commitment to Glassdoor, and we’re looking forward to lots of impactful work ahead!
