Pros

The talent pool here is super deep. Being smart is table stakes to joining the team. Love the work we do and how it is impacting peoples lives, communities and cities. CEO is super inspiring and a pleasure to work with. Teammates are amazing. Genuine friendships and sense of compassion for each other.

Cons

Organization is super flat so promotions are very rare and hard to come by. One of our top exec's (who I won't name) thinks pretty highly of himself. He can be frequently found talking over other people, re-stating what others have said or taking credit for ideas which came from others. He just can't seem to hear enough of himself. I don't think this is malicious behavior probably just a lack of self awareness but it is exhausting. Perhaps this was accepted at Google, but it doesn't belong at Gloo. It is no wonder his team has had like 30% turn over in 6 months. Management please look at this.

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.
