This sounds like a market opportunity. If Glassdoor has pivoted to shilling for other corporations, someone should turn around and make a site that allows honest negative reviews of companies.
Anyone interested?
- peacefulhat 6y agototally missing the underlying problem here. this sort of thing is endemic. you will end up pivoting too if your site displaces glassdoor.
- b0rsuk 6y agoI think it's a systemic problem. A problem with incentives. Once the site gets big enough, inevitable pressure builds up in the top management to squeeze more money. Top of the hierarchy naturally attracts psychopathic and narcissistic types.
- lowdest 6y agoI'm interested. I definitely think these kind of things are cyclic. Glassdoor is now owned by the same parent company as Indeed, so if a company is a client of Indeed's recruiting services there's definitely a conflict of interest present.
- staticautomatic 6y agoCount me in. Already brainstorming ideas for safeguarding review integrity. Email in my profile.

- otoburb 6y agoI believe Team Blind does this and tries to deflect the gaming through blind anonymous reviews but where Blind validates the poster possesses a company email. The problem is that if it gets too successful then it's easy for companies to classify emails from the Team Blind domain as spam. Having said this, if that happens then that might already be a yellow flag on the part of the employee.
- Apocryphon 6y agoBlind also has a relentlessly negative tone that verges on toxic. Sometimes it's difficult separating the genuine opinions from the trolling.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoWhy should we trust TeamBlind any more than Glassdoor? Right now their monetization strategy seems to be "VC funding to get critical mass, worry about monetization later". Seems like a recipe for betrayal to me.
