      Pros

      Glassdoor is fundamentally a company of good people trying to do well in the world. It's a company that allows for a good work/life balance and work on interesting problems. You can truly operate in the white space and have agency in your role. Most roles are historically well compensated when compared to other roles outside of tech.

      Cons

      Brain drain from multiple layoffs, pressures from Indeed/Recruit Holdings, and the failure of community led to Glassdoor changing and becoming a shell of its former self. What was once a company that wanted to help everyone find a job and be a denizen of good in tech, has now morphed into another AI shill focused on delivering value to Recruit's shareholders and increasing revenue without the procduct or strategy to do it. A once positive and welcoming culture is now a culture indexed on performance.. If you ask questions of share concerns, you'll be deemed "not a team player" and put on a PIP or have your compensation lowered. Some leaders on the people team decided to create a cult of personality of those who would say yes rather than challenge ideas or foster innovation. They spent time icing out (i.e. literally not responding to you at all]. Politics now dominates the meritocracy. Rewards and promotions are given for loyalty, not contributing to business objectives.

      I truly appreciate the honesty and care reflected in your review. I’m proud that Glassdoor remains a place where talented people can do meaningful work and enjoy balance in their lives, but I also recognize the deep concern you’ve expressed about cultural shifts and the impact of recent changes. As President, I know that strengthening trust and fostering a healthy workplace are critical to help us chart a successul path through this period of disruption. Your perspective helps us stay focused on what matters most to our people and the values that comtinue to guide us. - Owen Humphries | President, 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.
