Pros

They hire smart people Some amazing Middle Management They will pay you well

Cons

They are 100% focused on churches, I got told for my entire time they would be adding more verticals, but nothing ever happens. CEO has no patience for products to grow of be proven in market. CEO's friends put in charge of engineering have no idea what they are doing. They claim to be people focused but most of their decisions go against this.

We're sorry to hear that Gloo didn’t live up to its promise for you. While it’s true that our recent focus has been on the faith vertical, the overall purpose remains the same: Release the passion in every person to Champion the growth of another so they can be all they were born to be. We believe the best way to develop products that ‘cross the chasm’ is to focus on a niche market segment. While we believe these use cases will prove scaleable into other verticals, focus is a key to our product and go to market strategy in this season. We appreciate your candid feedback.

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.
