      Great Place to Be

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      So it there was a half star system I would rate GD 4.5. It's not perfect but management tries there best to provide the best environment for us to be happy and do great things. Daily Lunch, snacks, great gym with on staff wellness instructor who runs classes are just few of the highlights. The people here are great and the managers on my team are fantastic. Very easy to work for and as long as you get your work done they are very flexible with how you do it.

      Cons

      Low base pay compared to similar positions in the bay area, lots of change as company pushes towards IPO which can be stressful. While the office location is in a beautiful spot in Mill Valley, the commute can be tough with bridge traffic.

      Exciting direction- Sales

      Enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very simple business model that capitalizes on real trends in consumer behavior. Culture is extremely important. Feedback is constantly being solicited about the direction of the organization Support from marketing. The Glassdoor brand is everywhere which makes selling much easier

      Cons

      Feedback is always being solicited about the direction of the org (yes, that can be a con). Very competitive market of recruitment advertising. Most companies try to spend less on recruitment, not more. Aggressive growth goals

      Thanks for your thoughts. Point taken on our need to get really good at clear communication. This becomes even more important as we scale. We're always working on this and I welcome your ideas.

      The company is good but the management is just bad

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined the company as a new grad engineer. Glassdoor is a great company. I can't think of how someone can go through a job seeking process without using Glassdoor. I love the company and it was the reason I chose it over other offers I had at the time. But I wish I could have a better manager. I don't wish to be in another team because all my teammates are knowledgeable and fun to work with. It's just weird how a manger of a hard core back end team doesn't like coding and spent most of his time in meetings without implementing any important piece of code while the company is still a startup. It's ok to be in meetings but it's not right when you are an engineer lead and have more meetings than your project manager. Yes we have a PM. All the team members could see the problem, brought it up but nothing changed. I don't want to go in more details, but I do want to see Glassdoor successful. Look back at the journey I had at Glassdoor, I do realize I learnt many things from my teammates. I'm glad to know and have them in my life. I don't regret my choice, I just wish it could be better for everyone. To any new grad: choose your manager for your first job, it should be the highest priority because he/she will be your mentor (or no mentorship at all if you choose a wrong one).

      Cons

      I want to say management, but I can't really say so because I only experienced it in my team. Maybe managers of other teams are better.

      I'm glad you valued the people you worked with - I agree we have an amazing group of people. I'm sorry that you did not have a great experience with your manager. I believe code reviews are important for driving quality and knowledge sharing. However, requiring comment before approval is not part of the process, nor should it be. Also, as any Glassdoor employee knows, we do value a work environment that is emotionally honest, but this shouldn't be at the expense of effectiveness or quality of work. In most cases, open communication and authenticity makes us better. I'll follow up on both of these concerns. Thank you for your honest feedback.
