Pros

Working at Glassdoor is challenging yet very rewarding. There is a high bar in terms of performance, but also plenty of support from everyone around you to reach that bar. There are Good People everywhere and it really feels like we are heading in a good direction both in our technical foundations and our product.

Cons

One small thing is that over time we have slipped a bit on our goals around Transparency, I think this is mostly a function of being fully remote, and it is being worked on, but its something I've noticed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Glassdoor. It’s great to hear that you find the work both challenging and rewarding and that you feel supported by the team. Creating an environment where employees can thrive while working towards ambitious goals is something we deeply value, and we’re glad to see that reflected in your experience. We also appreciate your candid feedback on transparency. As a fully remote company, maintaining open communication is something we continue to focus on, and we acknowledge that there’s always room for improvement. We're actively working on ways to ensure that information flows more effectively across teams, and we welcome any ideas you have on how we can do better. Thanks again for your insights and for being a valued part of Glassdoor! - Rodrigo Oliveira, Chief Technology Officer

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.
