Yet, glassdoor is still thriving. This is just a step forward for transparency.

  But the question remains: is it useful?
  • clnq 3y ago
    Yes. It's like a pseudo-union. Collectively bad companies are avoided and good ones receive more interest. Low salaries and bad managers are put on display. Good ones are, too. It's useful for the job seeker, and it's useful for society.

      Some of the companies I worked for have removed my reviews, so I'm not so sure about that.

        You're saying it is corruptible. But it doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. There's plenty of critical reviews on the platform. More than enough to take a peek into the problems some corps have before joining.

    More information is better than less information. A few more cases definitely are red flags.

    Yep. I’ve used Glassdoor reviews in making my decision about employers. I ignored bad reviews once and regretted it.

    No. I've looked up companies that were great or awful, and the reviews looked about the same. A fee negative reviews from the janitor, and lots of positive reviews that look like they were written by the PR team.
