I remember working at a company that got frequently mentioned as “one of the best places to work in CITY”, and a few months into my tenure one of the HR employees circulated the website to go vote for our company on the “best places to work in CITY” website.
I think Glassdoor is basically grievances by employees, some of whom are unreasonable, and fake counter-reviews by HR/marketing. I generally just look at the complaints and gauge how unrealistic they sound.
- spacemadness 3y agoYes, I don’t understand how someone who is basically content with their employer decides they’re going to write a Glassdoor review. Why bother, you have better things to do. But if you’re pissed you might. Most reviews are glowing and decidedly fake or really negative.
- IlPeach 3y agoSame here. It does sound like Amazon reviews tbh.
- nine_k 3y agoThis. Also, some details are useful if seen statistically: details about work / life balance, intensity of employee turnover, particular broken processes. When they are not the centerpiece of a review, and you see them in 10 reviews, they likely correlate with something. Of course, reviews like "all good, none bad" or "all bad, the worst" are not informative. Some interesting data can be gleaned about salaries, or the interview process. But, again, it needs to be taken as statistics, not as honest detailed descriptions.
