Pros

It's a great company that practices what it preaches. Management works hard at transparency and helping workers succeed. It's awesome to work at a company that is helping to transform the American workplace by letting people know what they are getting into.

Cons

Training of new engineering employees could be improved. Engineers may not be familiar with the needs of recruiters that use the site.

Sales... Going through some rocky times

Pros

Glassdoor is an amazing organization that is going places. It is disrupting an industry that has been lacking innovation for years. The people are amazing, work culture is great, and the over all working environment is something all companies dream in achieving.

Cons

Read the reviews before this one. Glassdoor has an amazing culture where the people will become some of your best friends. The managers are here for you and will work as hard as possible in order to see you succeed. Unfortunately there is a little disconnect with upper management. When scaling a company, you need to figure out ways to cut costs and become profitable, that's a known factor. But, you don't necessarily do this by drastically lowering commission rates all at once, to the point where the new OTE seem unrealistic. You do this slowly or else you lose the driving force behind what makes your sales team operate; the though that you can make good money if you work hard. Suggestion for those thinking about joining the sales team: maybe wait for 6 months. Management is going to need to create a realistic comp plan that allows for contributors to make money. It will get done but may take some time. Maybe sit back and think about joining the back half of this year.

Pros

Company prospects are strong. Incredible business model and fantastic growth. CEO is humble, intelligent and compassionate. Leads by example. Great company culture.

Cons

Nothing specific, but of course the company is going from a transition from being super small and nimble to being a more established startup and is learning how to deal with that. Some people are finding the transition harder than others. But not a big deal.

Transition presents challenges, but it's often where we find the most opportunity. I think the growth phase is the most exciting time in a company's life. It's not always smooth, but it's always worth it, and the team and culture that has made us successful so far will continue to be our biggest competitive advantage.
