Pros

A lot of great co-workers, who really believe in the mission. The teachers are great, and really believe in the mission.

Cons

Hello there! Are you thinking about joining an innovative, adaptable, and exciting new company that will invest in you and your career? Well then F*CK YOU! Please go someplace else. APPLY TO GLO. Do you like to be exploited for your increased labor when it’s needed, but ridiculed for your contributions when asking for a very basic cost of living raise? Then Glo is the place for you! APPLY TO GLO. We offer - a founder/CEO that is a really nice guy, but is totally checked now. A Co-CEO that likes to hit on younger female employees and has been involved in sexual harassment lawsuits. Upper management that will fail to hit any of its own benchmarks, but will blame that on everyone below them, and be so rude and derogatory about it they will make employees cry. But don’t worry! They will remind you along the way of the company’s mission statement, that they are, “Improving the world’s well-being.” And so if you complain, you are against the world’s well-being. But don’t worry! There’s more! APPLY TO GLO! Technology so out of date you won’t be able to get another job after this, because you’ve been working on technology so out of date. APPLY TO GLO! HR and management so bad you’ll be fired or laid off if you call out a toxic workplace environment. APPLY TO GLO! You get to… you get to…. You get to take low quality video classes of really great teachers. That part is true. The teachers are really good. They’ve got great stuff. It used to be high quality video, now it’s really bad. APPLY TO GLO! Okay, real talk. It’s a bad place to work. It’s a very classic case of toxic wellness. There are many great people that work here, wanting to increase the world’s wellness. Unfortunately management is terrible and toxic, and is only interested in making money. They’re trying to pitch a low quality product as a premium product, which it used to be, and are flailing. You’ll be stuck trying to sell a low quality product as a premium product, from both a technological and product perspective, then blamed when you either call it out or can’t deliver. You can’t deliver, because dog food is not prime rib, no matter how many meetings you have trying to sell it. APPLY TO GLO! No. Don’t. I mean… I guess take the job if they offer it. Take the money. Job market is terrible. But consider it a temporary placement. It’s not gonna last long.

The company and teams are practical yet excited about what ideas you can bring to the table.

Cons

I haven't encountered anything yet, where I feel it'd be a major concern. People are smart and motivated.

Pros

The broader team outside of executive leadership has a lot of talent, are collaborative individuals, results oriented, and committed to driving meaningful progress. Many team members demonstrate a clear understanding of what it takes to move the needle and contribute positively to the company’s goals.

Cons

Despite promoting a culture of openness and inquiry, the leadership environment discourages critical questioning or strategic dialogue. Decision making is highly centralized, with the Co-CEO and CMO exerting control over most initiatives, often leading to bottlenecks and reactive pivots weekly and monthly with fluffed numbers. Marketing efforts lack strategic direction and rely heavily on AI-generated outputs without clear validation or performance metrics. Product leadership struggles to articulate a coherent vision, resulting in frequent misalignment and over-reliance on engineering. The engineering team faces significant pressure, managing a fragmented tech stack while attempting to meet unclear and shifting demands. Cross-functional collaboration is hindered by ineffective meetings and communication gaps, particularly with offshore engineering resources. Compensation is below market relative to workload expectations, and the organizational structure fosters burnout rather than sustainable growth. The company’s recent coaching product launch did not meet expectations, and marketing efforts failed to generate traction or deliver on projected outcomes. Overall, the business outlook appears uncertain, with high turnover and limited strategic clarity.
