My time at Glassdoor was truly amazing! Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing opportunity for growth and to make some good money! Some of my best friends outside of work are my coworkers!
Cons
Due to COVID, 300 employees were laid off. This was hard to deal with, especially as leadership was ensuring us that our jobs were safe over the last 3 months. It is what it is though, still an amazing place to work!

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to write of your positive experience at Glassdoor, even though this is a tough time for you. I am so happy to hear that the people, culture, and opportunity for growth made Glassdoor a special place for you.
As a leadership team, we have endeavored to be transparent about company performance through our monthly All Hands and other communication channels. Though, I must acknowledge we’re living in a truly unprecedented time. No one could have foreseen this pandemic or a crisis of this magnitude. In our recent All Hands, I shared with employees that we had seen remarkable impacts to our business due to COVID-19 and unfortunately we saw no signs of improvement, resulting in this very difficult decision. It has been incredibly painful to say goodbye to talented people due to the impact of COVID-19 on our business.
I want to thank you for all you’ve contributed during your time at Glassdoor. I hope the connections and relationships you made at Glassdoor don’t end here and continue on. It was a privilege to work with you.

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.
