And don't forget that you only get a pass for 12 months. After that, you must submit another review to continue browsing. 😂
does glassdoor have any value now that blind and levels.fyi exist?
What are they? I'd love it if people actually embraced using a different platform. Glassdoor makes no sense anymore
This always ends up being the ending of any such sites. All you have to search for is "Glassdoor" and "sued" to see why.
Enshittification in full effect.
Just make some shit up. You worked at McDonald's in East Hanover New Jersey in 1976. You made $24 per hour and you approved of the CEO.
What a coincidence, I worked there too. I still remember Jimmy quite fondly. Best CEO I ever worked for. He even attended my birth a decade later.
Deleted my profiles and submitted California delete data request some months ago when they made reviews traceable. No one should use Glassdoor anymore
Yeah, they jumped the shark with that shit a while ago.
Note that it will also have an effect on the quality of reviews. Glassdoor is only worried about number of accounts at this point. It's unfortunate, since sharing this kind of information is constitutionally protected, but it isn't necessarily profitable.
Glassdoor officially became dead to me last year, when they made everything "opt out" in terms of privacy. It made the rounds and I know they lost a good chunk of reviewers. With this it makes sense, engagement is probably low and they're desperate to bring numbers up.
Screw them, they became company focused instead of user focused, there's zero reason to give them reviews anymore. Companies can pay to remove reviews, they are not as private, there's no reason.
They also have some fun policies like allowing employers to pay to moderate their reviews. So yeah, they're the Yelp of employer reviews these days
I deleted my account when I discovered that bullshit. LinkedIn's new opt-out AI data gobbling has me this close to deleting that account too.
Edit: Fuck it, I just saw Ars' article with LinkedIn's response. Bye bye LinkedIn account.
The difference with linked in is that I don't use linked in personally. I only use it in my role as an employee or as a job searcher or as a member of some community. I don't have any personal info on there, except for the basics that are already out there.
I did the best thing possible very early on in my adult life; created a LinkedIn account, and didn't post/comment a goddamn thing.
Glassdoor is was great for a while. Now it’s trash.
It's believed that Glassdoor's business model is to charge companies for removing bad reviews. So how much value can the rating provide is questionable in the first place.
Personally, for big companies, there are always people writing their work experiences on an open platform. For small companies, it's unlikely to find a relevant review, if any, on Glassdoor anyway. So I never bothered to use it.
Open platforms
Care to share any of those? That would be quite helpful.
I'd wager he means something like the fediverse, reddit, various microblogging sites. There are plenty sharing experiences working for Google, Apple and what not.
Yeah, I mean platforms accessible without so many hoops to jump through.
Yeah. I jumped through these hoops too and it created a company page for my company, with one employee, me, just so I could read someone else's review on a different company.
Of course, now there's a company page for my company that I don't appear to be able to delete.
Are you hiring? I've read good reviews
Because they paid to remove the bad ones. Trust me, you don't want to work there.
True, the employee(s) here need to be across every aspect of the business, including cleaning the toilet and talking to CEOs and CIOs, not to mention do the accounts, chase debtors and write code whilst maintaining a sense of humour and getting enough sleep.

AKA "Rockstars" working in a "fast paced environment"
Aww .. shucks .. giggle
Can you review Radioshack? Or Toys R Us (if you're American)? Who will know?
To some degree you can get use Glassdoor with the help of the element zapper from ublock origin. What you can circumvent is pretty limited, but you can at least get a bit of information without jumping through all their hoops.
What that said, I would not put a ton of trust in the reviews section. As people have mentioned, companies can get bad reviews removed, but also most happy employees aren't taking the time to go submit a review. I use it more to see salary ranges for job titles, both generally and at specific companies. Even that is subject to how honest users are about their title and salary, but employees have much less access to that kind of info compared to employers, so I have to take what I can get.
Bugmenot sometimes has LinkedIn credentials https://bugmenot.com/view/linkedin.com
Don't click any of the scam ones though
I’m always making up stuff to see company reviews and wondering how many of those are fake too.
Sounds like a job for account sharing with other people
Is bugmenot still a good source for shared creds, or are companies getting savvy to it yet?
I was able to use Glassdoor just now with an account from there worked perfect
I downloaded glassdoor recently. Can someone explain how it's useful in any way ?
Don't use the app, it's spyware Browser and fake alias on desktop.
Salary data is what you want and it's generally a bit delayed plus glassdoor is a corpo whore.
