Pros
Glassdoor is a genuinely mission-driven company, and it feels good recruiting for a product that helps people make better career decisions. The brand is strong, so candidates are usually excited to engage.
The recruiting team was supportive and collaborative, with smart people who actually want to help each other succeed. You get exposure to a wide range of roles and strong partnerships with hiring managers. Tools, data, and processes are solid, and work-life balance is better than most tech companies. Benefits and DEI focus are also strong.
Cons
Things can feel slow and process-heavy, with lots of approvals and shifting priorities. Recruiting is very metrics-driven, which can sometimes feel more like activity tracking than true talent strategy.
Career growth for recruiters is somewhat limited.
