Pros

Good people, generous time off and low pressure environment.

Cons

Constantly change priorities, project started and stoped due to lack of direction from management. Multiple rounds of layoffs which lead to a major brain drain. Over all down beat feeling coming from upper management leading to expecting a layoff at anytime.

It’s great to hear that you experienced the generosity and support of our teams, even during challenging times. I also recognize the frustration that can come from shifting priorities and project changes. In technology, choosing the right long-term bets is essential. We’re focused on sharpening our strategy so that our efforts create lasting value for the business and our customers. AI is one piece of the puzzle, but we’re also investing in solutions that drive sustainable growth and meaningful impact. Feedback like this highlights the need for clarity and steady execution, and those remain key priorities as we move forward. - Rodrigo Oliveira | Chief Technology Officer, 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.
