Pros

There's many pros at Glassdoor, but as the title of my review states, it's all about the people. The people at Glassdoor make working so much fun. Glassdoor becomes family. Some of my best friends are the people I work with on a daily basis. I care about the people I work with and I feel cared for. It truly becomes a family here. We stress out together, we work hard together, we get through things together. You never feel like you are on your own trying to fight a battle, you're constantly fighting with a team of people behind you so you can win the war. It's an amazing feeling to have a company that cares so much about you. If you know the feeling, then you know what I'm talking about.

Cons

I would be lying if I said there's no struggles at Glassdoor. There are. We are going through a period where we no longer can move fast and break things (which used to be the mentality). We do move fast and things do break, but at a much slower pace. We have added processes that make things harder to get tasks completed. Things change with sometimes a lack of communication. Things sometimes break unexpectedly. Product may add something that you're confused about or wonder why they did that before the other thing. However, this is a sign we are growing as a company. It's a time of learning. I'm excited to see how some of these challenges become strengths.

Pros

Amazing culture, top-notch benefits, competitive compensation, wonderful work-life balance, and a fun work environment. Mac or PC...you choose. Plenty of up-front and on-going training. GD is a fun service to sell.

Cons

Growing pains. Company is adapting and changing as it's required in a fast-paced and always evolving industry. Accept change or perhaps not a place for you.

Pros

The culture and people here are great. Overall, I think that Glassdoor is well positioned for longterm growth and success.

Cons

From a sales department perspective, there have been some serious struggles for the last several months (quarters?). I think long term, these challenges will be resolved, but the short term pain is pretty acute and means that I'll fall well short of my on-target earnings. Making a sliver your projected bonus check is rough and overshadows a lot of the great qualities of working here.
