Great Company and then It wasn't

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.

Pros

Like many companies that are mission driven, it was good (even great) until it wasn't. C-suite & the board took big risks and they didn't pay off. Great culture, great promotion path, great benefits and great mission. I assume all this will disappear under the new name.

Cons

The writing was on the wall for a long time and unfortunately the inevitable came to fruition. Gobbled up by greed and bad bets. Since 2016 we lost a lot of great leaders over the years and unfortunately were left with those with short sightedness and poor decision making.

Politics Overshadow Talent in the HR Function”

Human resources

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a strong global presence and brand. Opportunities to work on meaningful projects across functions. Some teams support innovation and continuous improvement.

Cons

Leadership style within the HR function tends to reward people who say “yes” over those who challenge the status quo or bring innovative ideas. There is limited room for differing views, which can stifle collaboration and critical thinking. Employees seeking sponsorship or strategic exposure may find advancement challenging due to internal politics and inconsistent leadership behaviors. There have been significant leadership changes in the HR function over the past few years, with high turnover in HR. Despite these challenges, some HR leaders have continued to advance, raising questions about how leadership effectiveness and team health are evaluated. Overall, there’s a pattern of rewarding political behavior over people leadership. This has discouraged open dialogue, innovation, and psychological safety. Employees who speak up or think differently may find their reputations quietly undermined, which limits internal mobility and visibility. More attention to team morale and fair advancement practices could significantly strengthen organizational outcomes.
