Pros

This is my first company that I started working for after I started living in the USA. And the funny story about how I got this job is this: this is the third offer that I initially turned down after receiving it. I accepted the previous two initially, but as you can imagine, I still work at Glassdoor. The best thing about the company is that it is a beacon of the best place to work philosophy, so by definition, we are not allowed to fail in this area. And while I realize that since I'm on the engineering team, I'm a little biased, I still believe in our company's mission. I have been treated fairly from the beginning until now. My efforts and intentions are recognized and appreciated as I expect. I have a stable salary and benefits. I have a project that I like, a team that I like, and a job that I like. Who needs more?

Cons

Nothing beyond the routine specifics of work

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It's great to hear you love your job and feel appreciated. Your advice is spot on, too, and I think we do a good job of improving and not sticking with things that don't work. - Tony Hawke, Director of Engineering

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.
