Glassdoor is so spammy

The one you made seems completely focused on foreign workers. What am I missing? At first glance it does not appear to be of any relevance to me. Also, and this is a usability complaint, but when I'm searching for companies all of the search results are coming up in all lowercase. This is not a good user experience. You should style the companies using the same case that they themselves do. The use of "llc" is particularly bad, as is completely lowercasing companies whose names are acronyms, e.g. "ibm". See this list for what I mean: http://data.jobsintech.io/companies http://data.jobsintech.io/companies

  the site does not have search so maybe you are referring to a different one?

    There's a search bar in the header in the upper right corner on every single page ...

  Legal foreign workers are required by law to have the same salary than U.S. workers so it's relevant. >I'm searching for companies all of the search results are coming up in all lowercase. This is not a good user experience. You should style the companies using the same case that they themselves do. The data come from government records and it's all in uppercase.

    And murders are illegal by law, so they never happen. There's entire companies whose raison d'etre is to provide foreign IT labor at cheaper prices. And they aren't held accountable for it, unlike murders; those at least are generally followed up on. Here's a source: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3004501/h1b/proof-that-h-1b-visa-abuse-is-rampant-in-tech.html http://www.infoworld.com/article/3004501/h1b/proof-that-h-1b... By the way, it'd be worth spending some time sanitizing your data so that it displays correctly. It sucks that the data comes in an annoying format, but it would still be way more usable if it were fixed, certainly at least the top several hundred companies. It is interesting data though -- I'm looking up some data on my previous job, and all of the foreign workers made significantly less than me. I didn't even realize that this data was available by law, so nice job on putting it online in a browsable format.

I'm already spending a lot of time doing it. The work is massive :)
