Pros

I've worked here for some time now and I really appreciate all that Glassdoor has done for me. They have provided me with extensive training, were patient and fully supportive with my development, and have a genuine interest in my progression. The personal growth I've made in the past months is truly incredible and all the credit goes to the Management team at Glassdoor. They have given me skills to pay the bills!! And the culture.... BOMB.com

Cons

The job is very demanding with high expectations and big quota. Getting along with management is important because being a politician bodes well in the office. But realistically these are issues that you will find in any and every tech company. I hate to make Glassdoor sound perfect, but it truly is a great place to work and is a special thing to be apart of.

Pros

This review is after my first month at GD. - Great people - Smart coworkers - Great learning experience - I have got to do meaningful contribution in my first week itself.

Cons

- Commute is long. But its not so much of a problem for me. - Still need to improve some aspects of continuous integration and delivery. But the plans are in place.
