Fishbowl problem/solution and our strategy is spot on. I think we need to not just integrate Fishbowl (existing experience) but magic will happen when we make the new experience better. Remove the Fishbowl friction but keep the engaging parts.
What is one area that could be improved?
Continue the transparency around plans for Fishbowl. Really exciting to hear the potential and also recognize the challenges ahead.

It's not that the communication about strategy is better (which it is), it's that the strategy itself is clear and cogent, and it feels like everyone is working towards a common goal for the first time in years.

While there is always work to do, I truly believe that Glassdoor walks the walk when it comes to DEI. The support and prominence that is given to our ERGs and DEI issues is phenomenal. It's a topic that is infused from the top down in our OKRs from the CEO to the Executive team and below. And it's infused into our daily work lives. It seems like were are at the upper echelon of companies who are so strongly commited to DEI and it makes me very proud. I hope that others follow in our footsteps!
What is one area that could be improved?
I would love for us to be louder in this space externally. We are becoming leaders in workplace culture and showing that a strong DEI strategy helps our employees and business outcomes will lift up all boats.

We have a lot of work at Glassdoor and it becomes very fast-paced at times. Although I enjoy this environment (and it does not come as surprise), it's easy to let a few weeks go by focusing on work and not circling back to career goals and ways to enhance and broaden my skillset.

After almost four months of employment I feel fully supported by the company. My manager is engaged and connect with me regularly and often asks how he can be a help to me. My peers are available and helpful. They encourage me to grow and learn more. The organization to me pays attention to the details of company morale and have taken measures to make sure they are connected, transparent and keeping us informed.

Growth opportunities are an area of improvement. Rewarding vital individuals and leaders who have made a big difference in the overall partnership with Indeed is another area of improvement.

The additional days off are truly appreciated! I can honestly say that if we didn't have these I wouldn't take the extra time off and would possibly start to feel burnt out. Working from home, sometimes it's hard to stop and take a break because you feel as though you can always get something done (work that extra hour, work that extra day) simply because your office is right in your home. The company holidays really "force" me to understand that I can take a day off and my Company is saying it's okay. Please keep these!
What is one area that could be improved?
I would say spread them out? Sometimes the off days are back to back or in the same weekend (friday & monday). Maybe have one in the beginning of the month and one at the end? Another option if the majority aren't in favor, would be to allow employees to choose the company holidays. I understand we have an OPTO policy (WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST) but honestly I wouldn't think to use them randomly each month, especially when my team is working or the company is working. It's easier when the entire company is on holiday.

Excellent healthcare plan and the opportunity to learn about the world at large. We are focused on assisting clients and working but there is also an opportunity to learn about and interact with your peers during work hours about their lives outside of work. Those are some of the best and most memorable moments.
What is one area that could be improved?
The company is going through an immense amount of change and is trying to move from a mindset of "scaling" to a mindset of "innovating" which requires a pretty major change in culture that can feel like it's happening at a glacial pace. But if you're OK with that level of constant change, it's a great place to be. Additionally, we tend to lack functional expertise at the senior level. The leaders are good humans, they're just more generalists vs. not always an expert in their function which can be frustrating for some people, but I don't mind it.

I do believe the C-suite wants to have a more diverse company. However, I also believe part of that improvement starts at the top. With recent leadership changes, there are opportunities to make our leadership team more reflective of the diversity we seek. And I think this will help with retention too.

I would love to see Glassdoor make a more prominent stand on the need for women to have good maternity leave. We only offer 3 months currently this is way too little. I would love to see Glassdoor expand this to 6 months as the Best of the Best companies in the US are doing right now.

Colleagues are genuinely supportive. We all want to see each other succeed and collaborate to help each other win and grow.

It's normal for leaders and teammates to reach out and ask "how are you?" "How are you feeling about this?" "Can I help with anything?" Leaders are also super understanding of when we need time off for personal things. We can share as much or as little detail as is comfortable and there's no pressure to validate why you need time off. They trust you completely and I our teams give their all every day because of that trust and understanding.

I've formed genuine bonds with some of my coworkers that if one of us were to ever leave Glassdoor, I'd want to continue the friendships.

Working remotely has been a bit of a barrier to developing more deeper relationships with others but that, unfortunately, is an uncontrollable outcome of our current climate.

What is one positive in this area?
Glassdoor has continuously went above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need and more, to work from home during this time. They continue to support us in every way possible- from providing extra equipment and office furniture, keeping us connected through virtual activities and connection circles, sending out regular surveys to see how we feel about working from home and any additional needs we may have, to providing extra company-wide paid days off to help maintain our mental health and unplug. Truly appreciate everything they've done and continue to do for us as employees!
What is one area that could be improved?
It took awhile to roll out the additional incentives such as the increase in cell phone/internet reimbursement and the additional funds for things we need for our office set up. There was a way to individually make requests for things like an extra monitor but to my knowledge that didn't include other things that would make an office at home more efficient.
