Incredible company to work for!

Pros

Glassdoor might not be the sexiest tech company out there, but they do so many things right. What's better than sexy? * Solid leadership at pretty much every level * Truly transparent company in every way - state of the business, product roadmap, employee salaries and benefits, & many more. * "Walk the walk" efforts to improve diversity & inclusion * Supportive work environment during the pandemic

Cons

Maybe my only real critique of the company is their Maternity/Paternity leave is sub-par and they could do more to be supportive of parents (especially new parents).

Pros

Culture was okay I guess

Cons

Quotas impossible to hit, have burned almost all accounts with 1000 emails, no innovation on product - LinkedIn and Indeed crush them. Terrible office location. Shouldn’t have been hiring so many people just to lay them off

Great place to learn and amazing work life balance

Pros

Great place to learn and grow and build your skillset. You are encouraged to learn new technologies and seek projects that will help you build your resume and career. Amazing work life balance even better since Covid. There is never any expectation to respond or work after hours. Very little wasted meetings/ email culture. Focus is on results and impact and little to no politics. Leadership is one of the most open/transparent and diverse (especially with regards to women) I have seen in the tech industry. Will pay good compensation in line with all the other big tech companies (but below FANG) if you negotiated prior to joining.

Cons

It is unclear how Indeed and Glassdoor won't be combined into one entity in the future given the recent acquisitions. That's not necessarily a bad thing long term for some as I feel the combined company would be a stronger brand name and resume booster but for others it may be an issue of job security. Not a lot of truly innovative projects. Salaries that you see on Glassdoor should not be this low for tech workers yet for some reason we can't seem to figure this out. Levels.fyi and/or Blind app can and should be acquired but we won't.
