Pros

The people are the best to work with.

Cons

Engineering leadership is a shadow of what it used to be and the department is suffering as a result. As the review from March 16th pointed out, the recent round of layoffs seem to target a bunch of the top performers to make room to promote yes-men in their place. Morale has been falling for at least a year and engineering leadership either doesn’t know how to fix it, or doesn’t care. Either way is a bad sign.

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.
