Pros

Great people - really smart, well-intentioned, kind (no jerks). Generous perks - snacks, parking, happy hours every Friday afternoon. Great mission - literally trying to save the Christian church's decline first and foremost and also moving into other areas where people are trying to grow in some way - e.g., addiction recovery, mindfulness, higher education, etc.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical - do not question up (authority). CEO likes a command and control environment - what he ultimately decides is the rule of law at Gloo - some have said that this is a one man show - his heart is absolutely in the right place in my humble opinion, and this is his management style. Lots of volatility in the form of frequent reorgs, manager shifts/changes, changing organizational objectives, moving physical desk locations (not a huge deal, but it's something that you can expect to happen every few months). Promotion track isn't obvious

Pros

- Decent pay - Flexibility in working remotely - Good snacks

Cons

- Company claims to be about "human flourishing," but it is more interested in the flourishing of the Christian celebrities and business leaders with whom they're associated - Company claims to "serve those who serve," but leadership regularly is interested in serving their own interests. Leaders in my division wouldn't speak to me or even make eye contact unless they needed something. Very self-serving. - Be prepared for chaos. Constant restructuring and internal passive aggressive fighting between teams. Constant layoffs. - Claims to be serving churches, but mainly only churches that fit their evangelical, nondenominational, megachurch definition. - Leadership will use Christian language but are there to inflate their own ego. - Not only hypocritically un-Christlike, but also unprofessional. Layoffs are constant, yet handled very poorly. - Poor culture across the company. May be alright in individual teams, but poor communication and collaboration.
