Overpriced hard product to sell

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office and the people are friendly.

Cons

- Extremely high targets which are completely unreachable (people often end up cheating the system in order to hit targets - this cycle never ends) - The product itself is over priced and completely dated - Management wont allow anyone on the team to speak their minds and challenge them, if you do you're branded as "negative". - On boarding and training is far too short and condensed despite the sheer amount of new tools/systems one has to learn. - Lack of communication between upper management often led to confusion and distrust within the team as guidance was not always clear. - Work life balance is extremely poor, many SDR's were working overtime and on holidays to reach targets and push out massive amounts of volume to reach ridiculously high weekly KPI's set out by managers. - One of the lowest paying sales job compared with other Tech startups in Dublin right now.

Pros

The people at Glassdoor (prior to the layoffs) that were at the director level or below, are the best people I have met or had the pleasure of working with. The people are what made the company so great. The TA team was amazing and it hurts to write this post knowing this and all other reviews will make their jobs 10x harder. The product for the job seeker is phenomenal.

Cons

The product has not been "enhanced" in years. "Leadership" went down the drain as the acquisition by Recruit kicked in. Transparency was at an all-time low at the time of the layoffs. Understanding we are in tough times, this is when transparency is needed most. Blindsided is an understatement regarding the emergency all-hands meeting (we were given a 30 minutes notice) before cutting the heart and soul of the company out and throwing them to the curb.

The people make Glassdoor more than just a place to work, they really do make it something special. I'm glad that you felt that your colleagues were some of the best people you've met and worked with. No doubt, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on everything, including our business. It's truly heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to such talented Glassdoor team members. Please know I believe transparency is incredibly important and believe it's our most important company value. While we had shared in our monthly All Hands that we’d seen a significant impact on our company, I hear your feedback that you felt blindsided by this decision. I hear you and take that feedback with me. I hope you will stay in touch with the people that made your time at Glassdoor special and please do not hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you and we wish you the very best. Christian CEO, Glassdoor

Pros

The amount of growth opportunity Glassdoor provides is amazing and the leadership truly values their employees. I was unfortunately let go due to COVID, but they handled the situation as best they could. Great culture and overall amazing place to work

Cons

Fear that it'll never be the same place to work at after the massive layoff. Culture will take a huge hit which was a big part of what made Glassdoor so special. Also, not sure if the new CEO is ready for the new role.

Firstly, thank you for your contributions to Glassdoor and for sharing a review. I’m glad to hear you felt valued and that you had the opportunity to grow during your career at Glassdoor. And I am deeply saddened and sorry that your time with Glassdoor was cut short due to COVID-19’s impact on our business. You will be truly missed. I couldn’t agree more that the people and culture are an integral part of what makes Glassdoor special and losing talented individuals, like yourself, will have an impact. Please know that nurturing a strong company culture and supporting our teams during these unprecedented times remain some of our top priorities. If there’s anything we can do to support you, please let us know. Glassdoor is here for you. Christian CEO, Glassdoor
