Pros

My co-workers were incredible people to work alongside, unfortunately that can be said about any place. At Glassdoor you feel like your helping and working towards a common goal of helping employees and would-be employees know whats happening behind the curtain at potential careers, again unfortunately Glassdoor has its own internal problems, bad managers, and integrity issues.

Cons

Leadership has never handled layoffs well, you are constantly fearing for your job and those of your fellow co-workers. Sad because there was so much potential all those years ago I worked there, I’m so happy to be on the other-side, working for a company that truly makes a difference in this world. The same cannot and will not ever be said about Glassdoor.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your experience working here at Glassdoor. I completely agree that we have inspiring and motivated people, who are passionate about our mission. I also appreciate your feedback on the areas for improvement and am sorry to hear you felt we could have done better with the recent layoffs. While our decision to reduce our workforce was incredibly difficult, it was necessary for us to sustainably operate the business through what we expect to be a prolonged period of weakness for our industry. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m happy to hear that you’ve landed at a company that feels like the right fit for you and wish you the best in this next chapter. - Christian Sutherland-Wong, Chief Executive Officer

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.
