Vantaggi

You'll never find a more passionate group of people about the product than right here. People want to work here because they believe in what we do and how we're helping others. This is why most of us take the job here, high or low salary.

Svantaggi

Someone else said this perfectly: I feel like Glassdoor broke up with me. There are a LOT of us who were hired with a promise of certain benefits, work style, and career development. But they have recently just decided to change all this and force employees to go from exempt to non-exempt - even people who have been here for years - based on their job title/status and strip them away of their benefits. Our so called "unlimited" PTO is now restricted to 15 days and to make that worse, we're now only starting with 7 days. What if we didn't take much vacation over the years? But it goes beyond PTO. The majority of us that took the offers took it with everything it has to offer, including the ability to give it our all. That means loving the hours we work outside of the office, no matter how long it is, because we love what we do and we want to contribute all that we got. But now, with a strict 40 hour week (and some departments aren't even granting OT because of budget reasons), how are we supposed to do this? Some of us have huge projects, deals, clients that we want to take full responsibility for...but now we can't. We have to pass it on to other "exempt" employees. Like someone else said, this feels like we've just got grounded and belittled. How are we supposed to feel that we're valued? People are ACTUALLY saying that they're exempt because their job is more valued, or fancier. This is wrong and this is not the culture we, or I, signed up for. We all love what we do, no matter what level we are. I want to love coming into work, knowing that I'm bringing the same amount of value as everyone else. If I don't feel that way, that's wrong.

First, I want you to know that I do value the contributions of each and every person at Glassdoor. And I want you to love your job. And I want you to love working at Glassdoor. Moving some employees from exempt status to non-exempt status is not about the importance of the role, but about the responsiblities of the job. If people are saying otherwise, they are just wrong. In addition to your eligible PTO days, Glassdoor offers 10 paid holidays and 3 paid volunteer days off, for a total of 28 paid days or about 6 weeks of paid time off. Beyond that, we encourage you to take all of this paid time off to recharge. I understand you are frustrated, and I am sorry for that. The reality is that the transition from a start-up where everyone knows each other to a global enduring company is not an easy one. It requires change, growth and commitment at every level of the organization. It won't be easy, but we're in it together.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
