Pros

I debated leaving this feedback because overall, this was the best job I've ever had for a number of reasons. My colleagues were incredible, and my leaders were even more-so. Leadership was genuinely dedicated to development & creating a world-class culture.

Cons

When it was clear Covid-19 was going to have a huge impact on the economy, the CEO told us in April that we were making a few small changes (pausing hiring, promotions, etc.) so that we could prevent layoffs. Fast-forward to May, we get an invite on our calendars for 30 minutes out and are told that 300 of us are laid off. Given that transparency is one of our core values, it would've been nice to have had a bit of a warning that this was potentially coming so that we could have prepared ourselves.

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.
