Does anyone out there think Glassdoor will ever go public?
It's something every pre-IPO company talks about privately, but I'm curious if other people in tech would care if Glassdoor went public, or think if it ever will. Would you buy the stock if it did?
I think we're in a similar situation. Evernote has "gone over the hill" here in the Valley, but actually our customers love us and our numbers are still very good. Public perception isn't something to scoff at, but here you are expected to crush it like FB or get left in the dust like Twtr and LI.
Public perception is on the up and up now!
Aren't you guys preparing for an IPO? I'd personally not invest.
I think pretty much anyone who has used glassdoor feels like the data and content there are dated and not as relevant.
So no invest. Got it
Do you guys take money and let employers delete bad content about them? Not sure if IPO is a good direction. Market will crush you guys unless your revenue numbers are solid.
No can't delete. No preferential treatment for anyone, paid or unpaid.
i dont believe it. Zillow does get prefetential treatment, look at executive ranks and founders in particular
No and no. Blind > Glassdoor.
So many funding rounds happened already. Google invested in Glassdoor also. I don't think Google just wants to toss money for a company that has no good future esp Google Capital. You all say GD is worse than other QA sites because you dont use GD until you look for job. GD is a job site with QA feature for job specifically. It can't replace and can't be replaced by general QA sites.
Yeah, everyone is unfairly harsh. Salaries in glass door are meh, but GD is much more. You apply to jobs, find rough salary ranges, see how employees feel about the company, what interviews are like, etc.
This is all interesting feedback, albeit from an audience largely in engg in the Valley or Seattle/Redmond... Keep it coming.
So, I assume this is Robert, then? :)
Acquire Blind, Glassdoor needs a more social component, this app already has a healthy base, decent traction/audience, good conversation. I'd consider Glassdoor stock. At HubSpot we have a very good rating on Glassdoor, and we see positive benefits with recruiting from that. So, there's an impact on business, which is promising.
I'll think about it.
I think glassdoor could go Public. Not sure what your revenue numbers are. Would I invest? That's a different story. Glassdoor to me is just like Quora, Reddit or any other site. I just frequent GD less.
I agree with this statement. Let's not forget that outside of the tech world, glassdoor could be much bigger resource. It's hard to see that we're in a bubble.
Reddit > Quora > x > y > glassdoor
