Pros

It's difficult to capture how many pro's this job had. Work life balance, kind people that care about the humans that they work with, a product that solves a real problem and helps people, a fun sale cycle that includes both long and shorter term deals. I loved my managers, my colleagues. I loved that we had a policy on working within hours, including agendas on meetings, pre-reads before team calls. This was a culture that fostered kindness, strategy, thoughtfulness, growth, success. All sustainably. It's easy for the good stuff to go out the window when things get hard. Glassdoor was a place where everyone walked the walk.

Cons

Pay could have been better. But I wasn't bad. The layoffs and merger into indeed - that's the big one. I think that this product is purposeful and powerful. I also think that this absorption was done in a foolish and non-strategic manner. My hope is that the product does not suffer, and thus the candidates do not suffer as a result. This should be a cautionary tale to any leadership, whose decision is to measure profit and ignore humanity. Laying people off as a sign of bad leadership.

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.
