Pros

Friendship will be forever at Glassdoor.

Cons

The culture once represented a family, a community, a team that will always have your back.... until now. Our leadership has taken away one thing that made Glassdoor worth fighting for.... Our Unlimited PTO. Yes, we aren't paid as high as the average rate on Glassdoor, yes our quota went up, yes our pay was cut, but I always knew Glassdoor was a safe zone, a place where you could call your second home... until now. Now, I have only 15 days of PTO and I feel like a child who just got grounded by their parents. My work is always done before I leave for the day. I always give my all. However, how can we keep going as an individual/ a team/ a family when management increases our quotas/ cut our pay/ and take away unlimited PTO. My heart is broken and I feel betrayed. I have never said a word about the changes at Glassdoor because my heart bleeds green inside and out. However, it is starting to not bleed that bright green it used to. When I first started, Green was the only color I could think of, but now it is starting to get darker and darker and I am worried one day it will no longer be green.

Your passion and love for Glassdoor are clear. You're right that our sales team has weathered a lot of change and uncertainty this last quarter and I'm proud and humbled by the commitment I see everyday. Regarding PTO changes: employees who recently moved to non-exempt status now receive 15 days PTO. I also wanted to share that this is in addition to 10 paid holidays and 3 paid volunteer days--a total of 28 paid days off. And, you are now paid for your PTO days whether you take them or not. Plus, we will still be allowing for as much flexibility as we can, including 100% paid health insurance premiums, and sales plans with no caps. We remain committed to helping create a culture that is mission driven and gives you the ability to be amazing at work and at life. We appreciate the feedback, and hope that you'll work with us through these changes and see that their are many aspects of Glassdoor worth fighting for.

Pros

The benefits and culture were probably the best I've ever had. Even better than the benefits were the people I worked with. I enjoyed coming into work and doing my job and really stood behind the company tag line of helping people find jobs they love.

Cons

During covid things started getting bad. Like many other companies layoffs came around and how the company handled those were terrible. You show up one day and next thing you know you lose access and cryptic email and then your'e gone. This happened again in 2025. They brought in person whose job it was to basically get people to leave. They didn't care about the content on the site, or any of the efforts in place to promote integrity and transparency and instead just wanted to shove AI down everyone's throat. What's sad is that Glassdoor was once a great company that I was proud to say I worked for. Now it's just like everywhere else, AI, AI, AI and trying to get people to quit before the next round of layoffs.
