Pros

Glassdoor is a company full of supportive people - while some companies say they have a "no-jerk" atmosphere, we really do. Very flat organization, which makes you feel like you have influence. Extremely collaborative environment. A meaningful mission. Finding a job can be very stressful, and ending up in the wrong company is even worse.

Cons

While we have grown past start up phase, we still have some growth areas in order to truly build for scale. We tend to be fiscally conscious, and don't always invest in benefits like professional development or educational assistance programs.

Glassdoor Response

Pros

The best part of working at Glassdoor is 100% the people. I made a lot of great friends at Glassdoor the culture and the people are amazing compared to other tech companies which the people seem to be the same type of person all around! People &culture 10/10 would recommend

Cons

Money...I would have stayed at Glassdoor forever Bc of the people if the salary wasn’t so low. Hard to get away from that. Once the acquisition happened as well so many leaders left the company that originally sold me on Glassdoor In interviews. The product hasn’t changed at all much in years and constantly have all hands on how we made the green button blue now. But if you are looking for great people to work beside GD is the right choice but unfortunately when money is king especially in the most expensive place to live in the USA it tends to be the deciding factor.

Pros

You will be hard pressed to find a finance team that cares more about its people. Tons of opportunities for growth in a rapidly expanding global company. The people and culture are wonderful.

Cons

They operate at bare minimum staff and are wait too long to open new roles. Work life balance is sometimes a challenge as a result but the leaders are working hard to fix that and build out the team.
