Pros

There's many pros at Glassdoor, but as the title of my review states, it's all about the people. The people at Glassdoor make working so much fun. Glassdoor becomes family. Some of my best friends are the people I work with on a daily basis. I care about the people I work with and I feel cared for. It truly becomes a family here. We stress out together, we work hard together, we get through things together. You never feel like you are on your own trying to fight a battle, you're constantly fighting with a team of people behind you so you can win the war. It's an amazing feeling to have a company that cares so much about you. If you know the feeling, then you know what I'm talking about.

Cons

I would be lying if I said there's no struggles at Glassdoor. There are. We are going through a period where we no longer can move fast and break things (which used to be the mentality). We do move fast and things do break, but at a much slower pace. We have added processes that make things harder to get tasks completed. Things change with sometimes a lack of communication. Things sometimes break unexpectedly. Product may add something that you're confused about or wonder why they did that before the other thing. However, this is a sign we are growing as a company. It's a time of learning. I'm excited to see how some of these challenges become strengths.

Pros

Glassdoor Europe is a start-up within a start-up. Every single person makes a real difference and the growth opportunities are endless as we continue to expand in Europe and globally. The culture is great, fun, supportive, and the training program is incredible and sets you up for success. Great central London office location, fun team events, collaborative environment in the office - Glassdoor invests in each employee's success and happiness, and that's visible in the way people come to work every day, enthusiastic about the job they do.

Cons

This is not a negative for me but we are growing rapidly and building the framework of Glassdoor Europe as we grow, and sometimes you end up buying office supplies and snacks in addition to doing your full time job. If you'd rather have a team of people responsible for everything from office management to IT and you're not prepared to roll up your sleeves and pitch in this might not be the right place for you at this stage of our growth. The US office has amazing perks and we know we will get there too but we are still in the hyper growth stage so wellness programs and catered lunch every day are still not available to our office - but it's reassuring to look to our US colleagues and see where we'll be able to get to!

Thanks for your review - we've worked really hard to build an entrepreneurial start-up culture within our London office and I'm so happy that it's working for you. You're right that the London office is different in many ways to head office in California - we're a long way behind in terms of scale which means there aren't quite as many perks and everyone sometimes has to pitch in. But in return, you get to be at the start of building something special and have a real chance to help shape the culture of the office. Every time I visit I'm struck by the energy of the team there, and that makes me so excited about the business we are building. I hope you continue to share that excitement.
