Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your perspective is important to us, positive or critical, as it helps us continually improve. Regarding our executive leadership, we understand that leadership styles and decisions can impact the work environment. We are committed to fostering a culture of open communication, accountability, and most importantly, transparency within our company. As I meet with other Chief People Officers, they continue to be impressed with how much we share with our workforce including our business metrics, salary information, and more. Transparency builds equity with employees and is a key foundational element of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts which is one of the reasons I chose to join the Glassdoor team. Regarding your mention of our ownership by Recruit Holdings, we want to assure you that our parent company's values align closely with Glassdoor’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and employee satisfaction. Glassdoor has always been encouraged to operate in most aspects of our business as an independent entity and Recruit has always supported our strategic direction. If you would like to have a deeper dialogue, feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to the discussion. - Danny Guillory, Chief People Officer

Pros

This is my first company that I started working for after I started living in the USA. And the funny story about how I got this job is this: this is the third offer that I initially turned down after receiving it. I accepted the previous two initially, but as you can imagine, I still work at Glassdoor. The best thing about the company is that it is a beacon of the best place to work philosophy, so by definition, we are not allowed to fail in this area. And while I realize that since I'm on the engineering team, I'm a little biased, I still believe in our company's mission. I have been treated fairly from the beginning until now. My efforts and intentions are recognized and appreciated as I expect. I have a stable salary and benefits. I have a project that I like, a team that I like, and a job that I like. Who needs more?

Cons

Nothing beyond the routine specifics of work

Pros

Great work-life balance, great flexibility, generous, remote first.

Cons

Changing product, changing brand, no more sites. Now a little-brother to Indeed.
