Pros

Location is nice, next to land preserve / ocean with wildlife. Lunch is provided everyday, snacks, small gym, yoga and Crossfit classes.

Cons

This company does not represent its product. The working environment is one of the most toxic I have ever experienced. HR violations are abound and most do not report due to the fear based culture. Higher up managers are known for extremely inappropriate acts and it is astonishing how it is accepted. There are GOOD people at Glassdoor who work extremely hard and their only reward is to be told they arent working hard enough. Emotional deflation is common. After leaving Glassdoor and joining another company I couldn't believe the difference. Being in a positive environment where you are supported and not afraid is incredible. My hope is that others escape Glassdoor and find bliss elsewhere.

Your feedback is incredibly important and I thank you for your candor. I am concerned to learn about what you call violations and if you’re open to it, I’d welcome a conversation to discuss in detail. We believe all employees should be treated with dignity and respect and if there's anything happening that could be classified as inappropriate, we want to be alerted so we can address it immediately. And, we certainly never want any employee to be fearful. At Glassdoor, we put people first and work hard to create a culture that transparent, open and direct, where everyone has a voice and diversity of thought is welcomed. I am sorry your experience here didn't deliver on this commitment. I appreciate you calling out your concerns and hope you'll take me up on my invitation to have a confidential conversation. I wish you great success in your new job.

Pros

People Remote Policy PTO - if you can take it

Cons

- The company focus can and will change rapidly. The impact of this can directly impacting your work hours and mental health. - The rationale behind changes is not always clearly communicated, which leads to employee disengagement and confusion. - There is a lack of business focus and prioritization (or, if prioritization is happening it is not being communicated effectively). This leads to a massive amount of work to be done in absolutely insane timelines. - Burnout is rampant. 60% of our employee survey shows people are overworked. It's nice that they give us extra days off but we still come back to ton of work. Resources are lacking. - You are asked to always do more, burnout is part of life at Glassdoor and you have to accept it that you will not have work-life balance here. - We are losing ton of good talent, people see the writing on the wall that the future of Glassdoor is unstable. It's just a matter of time until they merge with Indeed and Indeed has been and will be calling all the shots. Glassdoor tries to retain people with benefits (RSUs, extra days off, etc) but there's so much you can do to keep people here.
