Pros

Was a great place to develop skills. Used to be an amazing community and culture.

Cons

Was bought by a larger company who had no interest in the business asides from taking money out to fund their own projects. Promotes internally which is a way to say they promote to incompetence to avoid having to pay market wages. Replaced all higher ups with employees from their own company who had no interest in learning the industry and thusly made ridiculous decisions and pushed away all the talent. Literally one of the first things they did after purchasing the original company I worked for was absorb our HR into theirs before making the entire HR department redundant so rest assured they definitely do not have your best interests at heart. Gave all the work to a few competent people and once they left it all fell apart.

Pros

*Flexibility. I dont always work 9-5. I often travel with my role and happy to work weekends/evenings when required (tenders season). *Balance-work/life *Trust to get on with the job-entrepreneurial attitude. *Opportunity to explore new markets and provide a case to the business *Payrise *MBA application-Glide University

Cons

*Geography- would love to be able to have more face to face opportunities with my colleagues. *I would like to see a transparent pay scale (exc.bonus/comms) across the business.

Pros

I have been fortunate enough to have worked at both small and huge organisations over the last 25 years, and Glide in my opinion is right up there with the worst, and one of my most regretful life experiences/choices.

Cons

Like any other business, there is good and bad; Glide employs some good and even great people, however it often feels like they also harbour and revel in association with some of the worst people! From the CEO that fancies himself a ladies’ man and Temu 007, to the pocket sized CTO that clearly has an unfathomable desire to be known as a ‘tough guy’ by bullying anyone and everyone possible (Jack Russel syndrome).
