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?
Purely anecdotal, but I worked for a small software company that were truly awful. I left a review on leaving that was honest, but factual. Weeks later, a competing review was left up that countered all of my points as positives - often hilariously so, shit like “we don’t unit test because we aim to be right first time”.
My review was then removed from Glassdoor. Knowing the rumours, I used an old eMail address that would be hard to link back to me. A little while after, the COO complained on LinkedIn about fake reviews on Glassdoor, pasting my email address that I had used to register.
I trust the negative reviews on that site, but not the positive ones. I also don’t trust Glassdoor as a company to do what it says it’ll do…
