Pros

Company really led with its' values to the very bitter end. It was a great thing until the layoffs.

Cons

There weren't any real cons other than the seismic shifts that were happening with the business regarding its partnership with its parents company. It felt like that a lot of the values that the company was supposed to lead with was also being dictated by the needs of the parent company at times. Timelines for internal promotions were seldom truthful because of business needs. Otherwise, I want nothing more than Glassdoor to weather this storm to the best it can.

Thank you for all your hard work and all you’ve done for Glassdoor. It deeply saddens me to see such talented, good people like yourself leave Glassdoor and for your journey with Glassdoor to end in this way. Please know this isn't your fault, at all. I take responsibility for the company and what has just happened too. I wish you the very best as you move forward in your career and have no doubt you will do great things. Many of us here genuinely do want to help you move forward so please reach out if we can be of support. You will be missed. 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.
