Thanks for your feedback. Our Executive Team participates in the same health & welfare and 401(k) program provided to all our employees. As a matter of fact, Jan 1, 2022, any employee which has been continuously employed by Glassdoor for 48 or more months, will no longer pay towards the health plan premiums. We are rewarding employees based on their commitment and tenure to Glassdoor and providing premium-free health care. However, the Executive Team is excluded from this perk and will continue to pay a co-share of premiums in 2022 regardless of tenure. From a compensation perspective, we target our market midpoints at the 65th percentile for non-tech roles and the 75th percentile for technical roles at Glassdoor. Our employees are rewarded with Base, Bonus targets and Restricted Stock Units at hire and we provide annual refreshers for every employee regardless of their role or job level. The RSU grant pool more than doubled for our employees in 2022 along with many other enhancements. In our efforts to drive ""Radical Transparency"" we even publish all our salary ranges online including the Executive Teams salaries. - Brian Conner, Head of Total Rewards

Cool people, but lots of politics

Pros

Really down to earth and friendly co-workers

Cons

Lots of politics and bad work culture from the Indeed side filtering into GD. It feels like Indeed has the final say over GD people. The Indeed work culture was too toxic and they have poor communication. Hard to get anything done here. The company says it's about transparency, but in my experience, it was the opposite of that. I was hired for one role, but right after I started found out my role was something else. I am still not 100% sure if the information was hidden from me during my interview process, or if the business needs had truly changed after I was hired. If I had all the facts during my interview I would not have left my previous role I was at for 2 years for and loved. HR also doesn't really care. They stopped doing exit interviews - I've never seen anything like this.

Good people lost leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

The people in this company are solid. There is a really good mission and a product that people need. Really important to provide people with all the information about the jobs that they are going to take. The company as a whole takes care of their employees and were early with work from home options and providing flexible options to work.

Cons

The company as a whole is still having trouble switching from start up to larger stable organization. Strategy is a moving target and there is a lingering legacy leadership with Robert and Ryan that have not let go of the company and are holding it back somewhat. Christian (CEO) is still directed by Robert and doesn't really have a handle on the new product needs. Overall the company is still very much focused on business needs to the detriment of the users. There have been many key people to leave recently and there might be more.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that you have been positively impacted by your coworkers. Our Good People are truly what make Glassdoor a special place to work and innovate on behalf of our job seekers who rely on us. Your feedback regarding stability and strategy for the future is noted. While our founder, Robert, is an important and irreplaceable part of who we are at Glassdoor, Christian has been our sole CEO and made his own leadership decisions since being appointed in early 2020. Thanks again for your valuable feedback – we're appreciative of all you've contributed to Glassdoor!
