Pros

industry-standard benefits, that's about it these days

Cons

Top-heavy management that seems completely disconnected from the customers. Forever trying to do things cheaper despite cheap leads to huge issues and outages affecting customers multiple times. Poor deployments, lack of responsibility, commitment to poor decisions, yearly redundancies affecting long-term and knowledgeable staff, terrible spending on tools that do not work or exceed already used ones, departments without actual specific management, practically non existent training unless you could knowledgebase pages written by people who left the company years ago, no written process for many things. Departments being blamed for poor work of others despite only recently taking on their tasks. The list goes on and on. Long-term staff are getting made redundant so they can further bloat the CXX team things only ever get worse at Glide.

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).
