Pros

This review is after my first month at GD. - Great people - Smart coworkers - Great learning experience - I have got to do meaningful contribution in my first week itself.

Cons

- Commute is long. But its not so much of a problem for me. - Still need to improve some aspects of continuous integration and delivery. But the plans are in place.

Definitely agree we need to continue to make progress on our continuous integration solution. Hopefully even in the time since you joined you have seen significant progress. But we will keep pushing.

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.
