Pros

* I've had a wonderful time over the years working at Glassdoor and continue to be excited about what we do. It's not a company that sits on its laurels. We are trying to reinvent ourselves as a workplace community and while it's challenging, it makes work fun and meaningful. * While it takes some getting use to, I ultimately love the flexibility of working from home. Glassdoor is all in on being a remote company. * Probably the best part of Glassdoor is its culture and people. It's impressive how good this company is at continuing to attract great people who truly care and work collaboratively with each other.

Cons

*Glassdoor isn't a place that is slow and steady. There are ups and there are downs. In the last 5 years we've had 2 rounds of layoffs. *Work has also become more complicated by having to partner with Indeed. *While I love the flexibility of working from home, I do miss the energy of working with other people in an office. Remote is not for everyone.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience at Glassdoor! So much of what you described resonates with me, and is the reason I'm still here after almost 8 years as well - the potential to do meaningful and transformational work alongside a great group of people. I agree that a lot has changed over the last 5 years, and continues to change as we seek to transform ourselves into a worklife community. Like you I miss elements of in-person work, but I'm glad to hear that the flexibility of remote is working well for you. Thanks again - for your review and for all you do for Glassdoor. - Owen Humphries, Chief Operating 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.
