What do you think would be an alternative tool to verify that people enter real job titles, company names and location?

I agree with this. No matter how much I love the company, their mission, or people I work with, it’s not healthy to work 7 days a week and 10h a day for the company that you are not an owner of. Boundaries between job and life are flexible,

So which one Glassdoor is then? Do they allow companies to hide/improve reviews for premium pay? Or is it just additional features of the platform without altering the review data?

This is a disgusting business model. If any of my products (that are in similar domain) succeeds, I’ll never turn to this model! Also, I hate ads too. For this business domain, that leaves a business model where "power users" of t

Possibly I’m wrong somewhere here, but that is a “bullshit” I honestly believe in.

The user account does not exist yet for pending registrations. It gets created only when registration is accepted. Also, if rejected registration is not updated with correct info in 1 week, it gets automatically deleted. This data does not

Legislating salary transparency would be quite awesome actually. And as others have pointed out, in some countries you can call tax office and ask how much another person has earned in the last year. And I do believe that every company need

Yes, we don’t have too much data yet. All the data is crowdsourced. I validate the information (current job title, company name and location) via user’s LinkedIn profile manually. I don’t validate the "numbers", but I plan to impl

This idea is quite interesting. What do you think should this QR code lead to? Salary information of one particular person (that put the QR code in the room)? Or salaries of group of people who work there?

Awesome, thank you. I’m going to take that into account. On the other hand, I wanted to be super-transparent with my users. Because, I still see a lot of websites out there having "necessary" cookies, and website works without acc

It’s probably because of different domains (main production web app, and demo web app)?

Are you using some type of adblocker that blocks cookie banners? I have coded my own cookie banner and didn’t use any of the existing tools out there. That’s why I’m surprised if something is blocking it, but there was already another comme

Yes, the demo doesn’t have a separate domain setup. Is there a particular issue you see with this? Please tell me if so!

LinkedIn is used only to verify your information (current job title, company name and location). Then the password requirements are strong because it is used for encryption of your critical private data in the system. The same reason is why

Could you please write these concerns to my email alex [at] fellowage [dot] io? I’ve used best industry practices for such web apps, and I’m curious what do you think these concerns are!

Thank you! I also detest these popups and "usual" customization pages. If you think I can improve it even more, please tell me! :)

That’s what I’d like to know.

I don’t understand what you are talking about in "1)". Where are such jokes? How even is that topic here? I’m confused.

I’m keeping and showing how old the entry is. Additionally, I plan to notify users to update their information every half a year, since their last update. If they don’t update in one year, I plan to hide, or remove their information automat

Hold on. You don’t provide LinkedIn credentials in any way to me or to my website. You use it to authorize with LinkedIn (similar way, you can authorize with Facebook, Github, Google, Twitter, and other OAuth platforms). The only thing that

In some countries the law specifically mentions that such terms of severance agreement is not valid and cannot be enforced.

I verify manually that person’s data (job title, company name, and location) matches what they have on their LinkedIn profile as a current role.

Please use a stronger password. In fact, the requirements are quite relaxed already. I wanted to make it even more strict, but my partner insisted on relaxing them. The age of simple passwords are long gone, as they are really easy to crack

Yes, this is a pseudo-anonymization. Someone with enough information can always say: “Oh, I believe this is your salary entry.” On the other hand, it’s not provable (I don’t save the exact number, and I separate the account and wage entry s

I quite like that idea!

1. Shows you separate entries (pseudo-anonymized) instead of showing statistical numbers like averages and spreads. 2. By requiring users to share their wage information at signup. The idea is that to see salaries of others you need to shar

About distributed companies, do you think an option to enter "Distributed Company" in the location is a good solution for this problem? Then, what happens if company pays vastly differently depending on the country/city? Abou

by waterlink 7y ago
As far as I know, Glassdoor shows only averages and statistical distributions and doesn’t show separate salary entries. It doesn’t satisfy the questions and fears that I have set out to solve. e.g., “Who should I look up to in my company to
