Pros

Overall some of the best people work at this company - great hearts and pure motives. Leadership is wiling to always meet with you if you want face time to discuss anything. Demand for our product is at an all time high right now with the great resignation shifting how employers evaluate their brand. Indeed partnership brings A LOT of opportunities. If you are ready to grind this could be an amazing adventure for you to tap into a hybrid sales career.

Cons

Burn out is real, sadly. There is not enough headcount but that's everywhere. Quota's are high. Pay could be better - especially knowing we are under headcount by a lot. I'm easily working OT every single week - and most of my colleagues are as well.

Pros

Glassdoor is a great place to work. Despite the fact that company grew up drastically since the time it was founded, the company keeps start up spirit with all advantages and disadvantages. 1. The biggest advantage of the company are people that work here. 2. Another important advantage, at least for me, I can really make an impact on the product. 3. Our product has positive impact on people's life by helping them to find jobs and companies they like.

Cons

1. Company has start up mentality, so some process are a little bit messy and unorganized. 2. Top management is trying to do a good thing and raise a problem of diversity and inclusion, but it feels like there is more concentration on hire new people instead of making a place comfortable for existing one

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Glassdoor. We're very proud of maintaining our startup culture, and our great people are the lifeblood of our company. Our "get things done" culture does go along with a little less focus on organizational processes, but we are working on improving this whilst not taking away from our startup ethos. I'm sorry that you feel that there is more of a focus towards hiring new people, but I do encourage you to talk to your manager about this. We try to focus on all our people, not just those that are new. - Shane O'Grady, VP of Engineering

Pros

Healthy, intentional culture that has the best aspects of a stable enterprise married with a scrappy, growing startup. Work/life balance is strongly encouraged which is table stakes as a father with a young child. Fantastic onboarding experience. Training content is comprehensive and engaging and leaders/peers are eager to help, whether that be with questions, 1:1's, shadowing, etc. Indeed partnership and integration has been far from smooth but both sides are finally getting their homes in order and there are tremendous opportunities for the business heading into 2022 and beyond.

Cons

Downside to the ever-evolving Indeed partnership is that there are still inefficiencies to work out, but leadership is open and aware of what needs to be improved and streamlined. Delta variant has thrown reopening and travel plans out of the window (no fault of GD) so there's an opportunity for further transparency around future implications.

Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. It is wonderful to hear that you are excited about our future and the intentional, people-first culture we continue to build and protect here at Glassdoor. I am also so happy to hear that you feel supported in your work / life balance needs as you prioritize your family and other areas of your life in addition to work. That is a core component of our values and I strongly encourage you to continue to find the balance you need to ensure you are fulfilled both professionally and personally. I do also understand that our partnership with our sister Company Indeed still has room for optimization. I agree that there is still an opportunity to make the partnership even stronger and more seamless. I am glad to know you feel this feedback is being heard and prioritized by your leaders so we can capture those opportunities for improvement. Thank you again for your feedback and being a part of this Glassdoor journey. I am so happy you are here! - Molly McKinstry, VP Global Sales
