Pros

Great team, environment, achievable goals, and can actually hit your quotas. Work life balance is stressed here.

Cons

You definitely deal with rejection so if that's tough for you, this might not be the best job.

Pros

I have never felt so on top of my game in my life as I do working for Glassdoor. Pros: - Fast internal growth opportunities - Level and responsibility isn't age dependent - Culture that embraces fail, but fail fast, pivot and learn (critical for a tech company) - Perks (free breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner, Budget for team building events like Giants Games or Glassdoor Olympics, nice onsite gym and free fitness classes before, during, and after work, 4 beers and kambucha on tap, and kayaks/bikes available to check out, communiter benefits, fantastic 100% contribution to healthcare, decent bonus structure) - Though Leader in employer branding and reducing the gender pay gap - Lots of focus on employee health, physically and mentally - Great to feel absense of ownership in the organization and a critical driver to its success

Cons

Glassdoor does have some downsides: - It might have a few years under its belt, but it operates very much like a start-up. The downside to that is that it lacks a lot of processes that other organizations of the same size have in place. It is a positive thing, though, if you want to have input in building processes for your team. - Some legacy decisions solved for more short term solutions than for long term ones, resulting in some additional re-work now so we can better scale for the future - Internal politics are at every company, and Glassdoor is no different. No worse than your average company, but I had hoped a company this young would have less of that - Run lead with large ambitions. I have never worked longer than my standard hours in my 10+ years of experience. I feel so many of us have such high objectives with less than necessary resources that so many of us are working 10+ hour workdays. - Hesitation to change previous decisions even if necessary to keep up with the times.

Thanks for your perspective. I agree with just about everything here including continued investment in engineering and UX/UI. It's an incredible team. And, there is still a lot of work to do together.

Growing up can be painful but it's for the best

Pros

Career opportunities: the company is at a really interesting point where we're still growing quickly but are building more structure and process behind our teams. That creates huge opportunities so long as you perform up to, or above, expectations. Team: the talent varies based on the team, but I'm excited to be working with a group of rockstars, and think the talent level in general is pretty impressive. Management: so good, so approachable, so honest, so transparent. I've never worked at a place where execs for the most part are willing to listen to the team, admit their mistakes, and be completely honest about why they're making the decisions they are. Benefits: fully paid medical premiums? check. Fantastic lunch every day? double check. Getting to work on the water in sunny Marin? yeah I'll take that too Work/life balance: this can cut both ways, as some people take advantage of it, but this is a place where you can have a life outside of work. Varies by team, but for the most part the office clears out at a reasonable hour and I assume that it's empty on the weekends since I've never been in the office to take count.

Cons

Growing pains: We're trying to grow up as a company. That can be painful. Not everyone is going to be thrilled with the decisions management has made, and some of the harder ones probably weren't communicated as well as they could have been. Moving quickly: For being the size that we are, decision-making can be really startup-ey. We aren't a tiny startup any more, and need to realize that things are going to move a bit more slowly than they used to. Otherwise things will break. 401k match: Pretty minor, but I wish we had it...
