Pros

Everyone is so outgoing and friendly. There is never a dull moment. There is ALWAYS work to be done---- a huge work hard play hard mentality at Glassdoor. So much room for growth at Glassdoor. There is a set track and if you get your work done, you will move up very quickly. Seems to be a lot of guidance

Cons

No 401K Match Yet. Also there is unlimited PTO, but if you take any days off you have an immense amount of prep work before you go and an immense amount of catch up work when you get back.

Thank you for your feedback. Sometimes it feels like there is never a good time to take a vacation. But that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't. I encourage you to work with your manager and create a plan to ensure you're prioritizing your own needs. We don't want burned out and stressed out employees. Balancing it all isn't easy, but it's necessary.

Pros

Glassdoor Europe is a start-up within a start-up. Every single person makes a real difference and the growth opportunities are endless as we continue to expand in Europe and globally. The culture is great, fun, supportive, and the training program is incredible and sets you up for success. Great central London office location, fun team events, collaborative environment in the office - Glassdoor invests in each employee's success and happiness, and that's visible in the way people come to work every day, enthusiastic about the job they do.

Cons

This is not a negative for me but we are growing rapidly and building the framework of Glassdoor Europe as we grow, and sometimes you end up buying office supplies and snacks in addition to doing your full time job. If you'd rather have a team of people responsible for everything from office management to IT and you're not prepared to roll up your sleeves and pitch in this might not be the right place for you at this stage of our growth. The US office has amazing perks and we know we will get there too but we are still in the hyper growth stage so wellness programs and catered lunch every day are still not available to our office - but it's reassuring to look to our US colleagues and see where we'll be able to get to!

Thanks for your review - we've worked really hard to build an entrepreneurial start-up culture within our London office and I'm so happy that it's working for you. You're right that the London office is different in many ways to head office in California - we're a long way behind in terms of scale which means there aren't quite as many perks and everyone sometimes has to pitch in. But in return, you get to be at the start of building something special and have a real chance to help shape the culture of the office. Every time I visit I'm struck by the energy of the team there, and that makes me so excited about the business we are building. I hope you continue to share that excitement.

Pros

Great supportive team environment where everyone gets their jobs team and at the same time enjoys a fun culture, that is very open and welcoming to new team members. Great vibe in the office that makes coming in everyday fun.

Cons

As we are a couple of years behind HQ, some of the perks and "extra" benefits are not quite here yet, which is understandable. However doesn't make it any easier!
