Pros
- Total benefits and compensation package is competitive. Glassdoor paid 100% health benefits premiums and offers incredible health care coverage. This was a great resource to have in the midst of a global health pandemic -Glassdoor swiftly made the decision to go remote and offered resources to employees to adjust to this transition, from offering home office set-up stipend and mental health resources -It is evident that Glassdoor hires good people. Employees and leaders are caring, kind, intelligent and innovative. People stay for the leaders and the way they make employees feel engaged and supported
Cons
I find that the cons fall under one main theme: Glassdoor is focused on the outcome goals but not building the appropriate foundations and process to get there. -Glassdoor made the decision to quickly cut its SMB business to integrate with sister company Indeed. Reductions in force often result in unexpected process and service disruption, but some of the gaps in regard to how current SMB customers would be serviced was a miss that should have been anticipated as part of the process - It has been widely known that Glassdoor significantly lagged in re: to D&I. The employee population asked leadership about the company's plan to address the fact that the team was very homogeneous. Action around D&I initiatives were slow until last summer's events. Since then, Glassdoor has moved towards very aggressive diverse hiring goals. While this is an amazing and needed outcome goal, without the right foundations in place, this can be perceived as a quota to meet vs. creating an inclusive environment where diverse talent can thrive -When it comes to building a team, Glassdoor would benefit from greater focus on coaching and development. In this area, there are two extremes: people with potential are at times pushed out rather than developed. Conversely, individuals who are not qualified for roles are given opportunities without having demonstrated the competencies required for the role
