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 always assume all the reviews are from plants or axe grinders.

    That’s my expectation as well. People need to be motivated to go out of their way to provide feedback, either good or bad. It’s only natural that axe grinders are highly motivated to leave organic feedback while plants are either compelled game the metrics or pressured to game the metrics.

    Either way, salary is the best indicator and lots of rosy pictures are as good as bad reviews.
