      Pros

      Glassdoor is the best place I’ve worked at, and I’m honored to work for a product that seems universally loved, by friends or strangers on the street. We mean it when we say integrity is a core value. For example, we have one consistent standard to how we approve or reject reviews, regardless of whether an employer is a client or not. Internally, through EQ training and leadership culture, we emphasize open communication and feedback. There are many smart people in the tech industry, but the people here are also generally the most caring co-workers I’ve had, and I think it’s related to our product and mission. Also, I love working with the data science team, and hope that we will remain friends beyond our time at Glassdoor. I’m a big fan of the CEO’s decision to focus more this year, and I’m optimistic about the strategy. I also like the recent attention to listening to and understanding our users. In the past it had felt like users were mainly traffic numbers. Work-life balance is respected. We have options for work from home and flexible hours. Some people work nights and weekends, but often this is self-driven. We still have much upside to incorporating data science into more of our product, especially since we have so much data to work with.

      Cons

      There have been several re-orgs in the Data Science & Analytics teams - the most recent one splits us into Decision Science and Machine Learning groups. Re-orgs are probably common for a growing company our small size, but it takes some adjustment, e.g. how our career paths here change with them. Though he will still work with us, the VP of Data Science is leaving data science to lead product and strategy here. This is a big win for the company, but a loss for our team. He has been a big force in mentoring and inspiration, working closely with us from whiteboarding ideas and formulas to providing feedback on even our detailed work. Some departments are more title inflated and heirarchical, and information can be lost in communication across layers or across teams, causing people working on the ground to hear about them late and feel like they have little say. We are in the early stages of using big data processing technology in data science, and still figuring this out.

      I am glad to hear that that you feel rewarded to work at Glassdoor. Our culture and mission is what makes it special for me too, and I am so happy to hear that you have built life-long relationships within the Data Science team. I hear you on the most recent re-org. I know it can be distracting in the short term, but it sets us up perfectly to make an outsized impact on the company. In my new Product role; I'll drive to make Machine Learning more integral to Product. This is going to require lots of rapid and deep innovation on ML, which the new org structure will allow for. Personally, I see myself working as closely with Data Science as ever before. Look, data is core to Glassdoor, and I will absolutely continue to mentor, guide and help develop the team. -Vikas

      Pros

      Management has a clear and realistic vision is focused on what really matters and is able to punt on the things that don't meet that bar.

      Cons

      Nothing yet! I started three months ago and really like the environment we can bring our dogs, take a kayak at lunch and there is an on site gym.

      Pros

      I absolutely love this company and can honestly say that I am as driven to succeed and passionate about the mission as the day I started. I have experienced huge change in two years which has been a real thrill, yet I feel like I am only just getting started. The camaraderie is great and the people I work with are real friends. In London we are a small team and we look out for each other. I really appreciate the opportunity that I have been given and my favourite part of the job is that we are breaking new ground in Europe. The senior management team are fantastic and I have a lot of respect for them. I believe we will be very successful and we are going in the right direction.

      Cons

      The hours are often quite long since we always have a lot to do and we have to conduct a lot of conference calls with the US near the end of our working day. The salary and bonus are good but the benefits are not yet up to scratch. There's a lot of pressure, which might not suit everyone but I don't mind it. There has been huge growth and a lot of new senior hires recently so it does feel like we have lost some of the early start-up vibe at HQ. In Europe we are still scrappy though. Overall, the cons are really minor.
