Pros

-Many Director and below people were great to work with. They cared and understood the challenges we faced everyday selling Glassdoor. -Work Life Balance -Nice office

Cons

-Product is pretty weak and there was barely anything done to make it substantially better. -VP and up seemed out of touch often. Especially with the Chicago office. -Christian seems like a "nice guy" but not sure if he was ready to take this on yet. Before Covid, Glassdoor wasn't performing that well. So I don't think a lot of people were shocked when they let 1/3 of the company go, even after saying we were in a good place weeks before. - SOPS was horrible. CS was understaffing and under trained. - This was a place to meet nice people, get a paycheck, move up and move on. There wasn't any innovation to sink your career in at Glassdoor (If Glassdoor ever does hire again, I would not have expectations beyond that). ** IF you're in the Bay, I'd never work at Glassdoor (too many better options with better pay). If you're in Chicago maybe consider, to move up and move out.**

Glassdoor Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. In recent years, I don’t disagree that Glassdoor has not focused enough on innovating from its core, in the products and content that make Glassdoor stand out from the crowd. And that needed to change. That is why earlier this year we renewed our focus to invest much more in what differentiates Glassdoor and in the areas in which we can truly be the best in the world. And while we had shared in our monthly All Hands that we’d seen this crisis have a considerable impact on our company, I hear your feedback that we could’ve been more clear. As you move forward, we wish you all the best and we’re here to be a support to you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

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.
