Pros

Glassdoor is an amazing organization that is going places. It is disrupting an industry that has been lacking innovation for years. The people are amazing, work culture is great, and the over all working environment is something all companies dream in achieving.

Cons

Read the reviews before this one. Glassdoor has an amazing culture where the people will become some of your best friends. The managers are here for you and will work as hard as possible in order to see you succeed. Unfortunately there is a little disconnect with upper management. When scaling a company, you need to figure out ways to cut costs and become profitable, that's a known factor. But, you don't necessarily do this by drastically lowering commission rates all at once, to the point where the new OTE seem unrealistic. You do this slowly or else you lose the driving force behind what makes your sales team operate; the though that you can make good money if you work hard. Suggestion for those thinking about joining the sales team: maybe wait for 6 months. Management is going to need to create a realistic comp plan that allows for contributors to make money. It will get done but may take some time. Maybe sit back and think about joining the back half of this year.

Pros

People for the most are nice. Pay is par for the job.

Cons

Management could use a refresher in Business Management 101. They will not listen to any fresh ideas. This is not a think outside the box company.

Pros

nothing now that they have fired most valuable employees

Cons

Leadership fosters an environment where internal competition is encouraged rather than collaboration. The company has not invested enough in product development (for both the team in this department and the product itself), leading to gaps in the solution that impact customer satisfaction. Instead of focusing on scalable, value-driven sales strategies, leadership prioritizes relationship-based selling tactics that are not converting to sales. Despite promoting a strong culture, there are many internal business practices that contradict these values. Employees who challenge decisions or voice concerns are at the top of the list when the company does another round of layoffs.
