Pros

An experienced and caring CEO. Unlimited vacation that is truly allowed. Overall very nice people. Listing "Free Lunch" sounds silly but even aside from the cost savings, the catering is very good and as a vegetarian I am always impressed with the variety of amazing food options. I'm also always amazed how others don't understand how truly awesome that is. Company culture is friendly and quite transparent. Amazing location that includes walking meetings on a trail by the water. A lot of opportunities to maintain work/life balance and improve yourself: fitness opportunities (yoga, crossfit, gym), speaker series, internal EQ training.

Cons

Start-up to larger company growing pains that are not uncommon: some veteran employees that are stuck in old ways or not up to increased standard of experience or quality work that new employees have. (Not to say there aren't a ton of amazing old employees too!) Broken processes, not enough heads in key areas (engineering and ops - wow the slow turnaround and backup is crazy), segmented departments or strange reporting organization/hierarchies that need restructuring. But none of this is uncommon at companies at this stage. Glassdoor, and our department, suffers at times from a very junior workforce that is not appreciative of what's before them. Lower morale seen in some recent reviews may be due to changes or restructuring that feels unfair, but part of me feels like you can't get better than Glassdoor in terms of a management team that's trying. Compensation for some positions feels a little low. Meetings, to our own fault really, are out of control. Booked over lunch usually. Maybe there's just too much to do. I suggest implementing an informal "No Meeting Fridays" company-wide. Many feel they get the most work done on these types of days.

Thanks for your review. Specifically, I like the idea of "No Meeting Friday's." I was inspired when we had Arianna Huffington here and listening to her talk about balance. I'm talking with our leaders to figure out how we might bring some of this into our culture.

Pros

Friendly environment, great staff, interesting work, benefits are great (health insurance, stock options, pto, holidays, and snacks). Work life balance is excellent, able to work from home. The office has a fun atmosphere and there is a real effort to build a strong team relationship. Little to no micro-managing but management is always available to help.

Cons

We have lots of meetings. The work is challenging but not so much as to be excessive. Be prepared to work to earn all those pros.

It's all about the people at Glassdoor!

Pros

There's many pros at Glassdoor, but as the title of my review states, it's all about the people. The people at Glassdoor make working so much fun. Glassdoor becomes family. Some of my best friends are the people I work with on a daily basis. I care about the people I work with and I feel cared for. It truly becomes a family here. We stress out together, we work hard together, we get through things together. You never feel like you are on your own trying to fight a battle, you're constantly fighting with a team of people behind you so you can win the war. It's an amazing feeling to have a company that cares so much about you. If you know the feeling, then you know what I'm talking about.

Cons

I would be lying if I said there's no struggles at Glassdoor. There are. We are going through a period where we no longer can move fast and break things (which used to be the mentality). We do move fast and things do break, but at a much slower pace. We have added processes that make things harder to get tasks completed. Things change with sometimes a lack of communication. Things sometimes break unexpectedly. Product may add something that you're confused about or wonder why they did that before the other thing. However, this is a sign we are growing as a company. It's a time of learning. I'm excited to see how some of these challenges become strengths.
