Pros

-The mission -Product is easy to get behind, so we feel pretty confident on the phone -The people are great, which makes a huge difference in company culture -I’ve had positive experiences with management that wants us to succeed and grow -New Chicago office is great -Robert and executive leadership is good at keeping us in the loop and demonstrating transparency -Opportunities for career growth -I feel excited about our future!

Cons

-We’ve grown a lot, which comes with some growing pains. At times internal communication could be much better, especially around promotion path and specific steps/timeline to promotion. I think we’re taking good steps to get there, though! -Our Chicago office is great, even though location is a little difficult for commuters. It would be amazing if there was the option to use the gym downstairs for free! I know I’m paying extra to commute there, so maybe sometime down the line that will be a wellness perk provided to employees.

Thank you for the feedback. We are incredibly proud of the new Chicago office and we’ve invested a lot of time, love, and input in order to make it comfortable for our teams. This is a very exciting time for Glassdoor and we have more great things to come in the future as we keep getting better. Regarding your feedback on continuing with transparency; it is always a goal within executive leadership to filter communication back down to our teams. It is not always perfect, but we try hard at it and we are committed. And, we are working on how to better inform employees on career trajectory and what it takes to get promoted/advance at Glassdoor - Look for more on this soon. Thank you for all that you do. -Robert
