Pros

I'm proud to be a part of Glassdoor! Our mission of helping bring transparency and value to job seekers is very rewarding. Here are some other pros: - The people at Glassdoor are fantastic. Everyone works hard, and there seems to be a common level of mutual respect between all employees. It's evident we're all on the same team. - Senior Management is approachable and open to feedback. Important changes are generally explained in detail and accompanied with reasoning with the opportunity to ask questions. - They also provide Emotional Training, which helps you develop both professionally at work, but also with your personal relationships. - Great opportunities for career advancement and growth.

Cons

Pretty much the cons are byproducts of the massive growth of Glassdoor experienced over the last year. - The more people joining the company, the more challenging it becomes to encourage a fun and consistent culture, where people know and care about each other. - Many formal policies and procedures are currently being put in place or revamped. Embracing change is important, but the speed can feel overwhelming and somewhat disjointed at times.

Pros

* Glassdoor is an amazing place to work. I have worked for startups for over a decade now, and the culture is amazing. I can say many companies try to achieve what Glassdoor has with regards to culture, but they just don't quite take it seriously enough. But you have to give to receive. You have to contribute to the culture to reap the rewards. You will be culled if you aren't contributing with your heart and mind. This is because they take the culture of the company as well as it's success very seriously. * I was given plenty of room to prove my merit and was promoted several times during my tenure. * The compensation was without compare. * Free Lunch, Gym, Arcade, Game Room and more. * Great facilities in the corporate office * They don't skimp on resources. This aren't afraid to buy you good, high end equipment to ensure you can get your job done. * They are fast paced and get things done. * Great leadership. The company has rarely not delivered on what is says it's going to do. They deliver the roadmap, and unless there is a good reason to deviate, they don't.

Cons

* If you aren't ready to give it your all this place isn't for you. It's a culture of hard work and hard play. Sometimes it can be a bit daunting, as it's full of driven successful people. * Communication can be difficult in a startup environment. Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, but this is very common in growing companies, so it's more a just be aware thing. During busy sprints, you may have to send communications a few times to get through as people are very busy.
