Glassdoor has been here for years and is one of the reference sites to evaluate and review companies, specifically their work conditions in general and salary ranges in particular. Glassdoor also operates a job board, but it doesn’t enjoy the same reputation as it’s company review service.
So, what’s your opinion on Glassdoor? Did you ever had any experience with the company? And how do you rank it with regards to other job board services?
I have gotten a job through glassdoor. My first actually.
It’s just a job posting site and most tech jobs go through an internal portal anyway.
90% of any “easyapply” services on any job finding platform will do nothing at all
As far as a company reviewer, it is a shitshow. I was looking for a job last year, tons of 2-4 star companies with fully mixed/negative feedback I was browsing again a few weeks ago and a lot of those companies have positions open. Almost every one of them were now “unreviewed” companies with 0 reviews. All of those reviews were purged.
There are no companies (that I have been coming across in my field) in my country now that have below 3.5 stars. A company that I KNOW had 2.5 stars when I was looking for a job 2 years ago. They are a contracting company with a lot of temporary employees, mediocre salary, no progression, etc… All of the sudden it is 4 stars now.
Not to mention that now in the app, clicking the “rating” tab no longer brings up company rating and reviews. It brings up the exact same information page as the company puts as their “about us” with founded, size, headquarters, etc…
Glassdoor is not a company review site anymore. It is a mediocre job posting board.
They should really include a rating history to prevent that…
But then they wouldn’t earn profit for taking bribes from companies with low ratings (or extorting them like yelp)
