It has been helpful in several ways: primarily the reviews from employees working at various companies, although some have been written obviously by management to counter terribly negative reviews; also, the pay estimates, although they are only estimates and should not be used to base an answer to a query of what salary you are looking to receive; and some of the job offerings.
They force you to give a TON of personal information to even leave a simple review or comment on a company. I don't want to give glassdoor my current salary, adress, job title, real name, phone number, etc. etc. Just to use the site. They lock you into pages where you're forced to fill a million boxes with your personal info just to proceed. Finding your profile and reviews is annoying and confusing. Just a really bad site all around.
After numerous customer support requests to make an amendment of my company review i received ZERO response! Therefore, i had to remove my review and write a new one.
After a few days my new review was removed without any notification. Only after i enquired as to why the review was removed, i received a response (which looked like an automated one) saying that a person can not leave two reviews for the same company within one year time. I had to explain that i did not leave a second review, but simply rewrote my initial review. In response to that I received (what looked like an automated response once again) a list of absolutely irrelevant violations that caused my review to be removed. My requested clarification on those violations is being successfully ignored ones again by Raquel Mia, Glassdoor Content & Community Team.
GlassDoor doesn't follow its own written policies and allows disgruntled employees to write libelous reviews about their former companies. We have a former employee who lied on his time sheet claiming wages he didn't earn; no showed for work multiple days; stole parts; created bad morale and flagrantly lied about his employer and GlassDoor allows him to post 6 negative reviews within days of one another when its own policies provide only one review per poster per year is allowed... I would gladly join a class action suit against this shotty company for publishing blatantly false materials...
We have recently gone through a raising of the bar and purging of poisonous gossipy employees that were not measuring up! They all bonded together and wrote a number of scathing venoumus lies on glassdoor. They even wrote things that were blatantly untrue about our revenue and cost which they know nothing about which is against Glassdoors policy supposedly. We had to bring this to their attention to have them at least remove those comments. They too are now trying to get my husband the CEO of our company use them for business. Of course we would never ever! But if there is ever a class action law suit we will definitely be a part!
Every time our company fires a useless employee, a bad review is posted on "garbage door". We are very successful and our management team never responded to the " 100 of emails" received from garbagedoor after each bad review. As they try to blackmail
By " offering a service to increase blablabla". This website is for looser.
A sales manager that never sold anything was fired (after 9 months!). He posted 10 bad reviews in one month!
I have written reviews regarding a company that I had worked at prior and Glaassdoir keeps deleting all the real honest truthful comments including my reviews submitted and were approved by Glassdoor... and I agree with the majority of comments from viewers including myself: Glassdoor makes every company appear as though it's the best place to work even though We all know there any many horrible awful companies that have revolving doors because they mistreat a majority of employees no matter.
Glassdoor is only interested in helping you as a business if you advertise with them; if you just need general help, GOOD LUCK! I have contacted them over 8 times in a 3 month period and only got a call back (within hours) when I stated my need was sales. (And no, we are not interested in posting jobs with you for $10k+/year.) Also, there are 2 company sites for us-we need 1 page only for obvious branding issues. Glassdoor will only delete the imposter account if it makes sense for their search results (wow). However, I still have not been able to even request that they look at the duplicate page because no one will get back with me now that we aren't moving forward with their advertising program. I really like where I work now, but if I am ever in need of a new job, I will not trust anything on Glassdoor's website-they are very self-motivated. I have only been one end of this spectrum, but I can definitely see how the other negative reviews here are true.
I posted an honest review for a former company and it was not approved. I was fair and honest, Glassdoor just doesn't care. I'm sure they get some sort of kick back by not posting. Not a trustworthy site.
Glassdoor allows bogus and fake reviews to be posted to their site about companies. They make no attempt to regulate or police the reviews posted, even when they are blatant violent attacks on an individuals character. They want companies to pay them to allow them to remove the bad post about them. This is criminal!
Employees can write anything they like once they get in trouble or do something wrong. Bad employees can write anything and even employers can... the site allows anything so makes the whole thing pointless for anyone accept the people who make money running glassdoor.
NOT TRUSTWORTHY! I have been using Glassdoor.com for about 6 months. I am a national Award-winning marketing professional and I have not seen good results with this job board. Also, they do not want people to post negative reviews about employers or interviews even when written in a factual and respectful manner. I posted 2 reviews about recent interviews with all the facts and they did not want to approve them. Both companies were unprofessional. The managers were not prepared for the interviews. One was late and had not even read my resume for the 2nd interview. Do not trust Glassdoor.com. They are trying to protect employers, not job seekers. They are not a reputable company.

After speaking with the glassdoor sales reps and declining use their employer services, glassdoor removed all of our companies positive reviews and left the bad ones only dropping our ratings severely.
Glassdoor is extremely unethical attempting to get us to pay to keep our positive reviews.
This site isn't legit for the people trying to be honest. They pretty much only accept positive reviews and I kn ow for a FACT, that Glassdoor removes negative reviews of companies that pay them. FACT.
L signed up on Glassdoor which requires you to sign up for their site and leave a review from a former company you worked for. Once you have left the feedback, you can access what they claim are available jobs... NOT... I saw three jobs that l was interested in, once l clicked onto the company website the job was not available... and guess what? Wait for it... the job was posted that day... This jobsite is a joke, don't waist your time.
Do not post your jobs on this site unless you want to be billed forever. It is very difficult to cancel your subscription. Glassdoor makes it nearly impossible to cancel and they are unwilling to refund your money.
With the job market the way it is, if you don't apply to a job within 2 days of it being posted you might as well forget. I keep getting job alerts of job posted weeks ago. This is not helping me much
The reviews on this site are mostly disgruntled employees who are often fired for good reasons and fake reviews posted by companies trying to boost their rating. Glassdoor makes it difficult enough to post a review that the only people who will do so are highly motivated -- either because they were incentivized by their company to post a good review or because they want to retaliate against their company for firing them. A normal person wouldn't have the time to jump through the hoops.
They offer paid services to combat company's negative reviews. It's basically an extortion racket.
This company is horrible the reviews do not even match the company they are reviewing, Do not trust there reviews, I wish i had something nice to say but from my experience it's all bad. You can not get anyone on the phone. When i flagged the incorrect reviews they stated that they are not going to remove the reviews. What a joke of a company
Our company has had a mass exit of employees and many problems with management this year and therefore Glassdoor was getting hit with all the negative reviews after people left.
HR got very concerned and asked their people to post positive reviews as all the negative reviews were possibly hindering the hiring of all the backfill positions.
Recently all the negative reviews were taken down over a weekend, yet the made up fake ones HR put on there all within a day of each other are all still there (and are which are pretty much all the same word for word so too obvious there...).
So much for unbiased opinions. Show Glassdoor the $$$... and they will be biased.
Glass door is a scam and will take your review and hide it if it is not what the employer wants you to see. They are in fact paid off by the companies that they are supposed to review. How do I know this? I wrote a review of club colors just a week ago and they decided to keep this obviously fake review that says it's the place to work at the top. The review was written a year ago! So I wrote them a review and sent it to them. I said that eventually people will find out that your services are a lie and that you are indeed payed off to pad a job and no longer will consider your services viable. They must think that people are to dumb to figure it out.
Fake positive reviews and companies pay to remove negative reviews. You will not get accurate information about companies that are truly awful to work for as those companies are the ones who pay to remove anything they don't like. Glassdoor you suck!
Our company had 14 positive 4 star and 5 star reviews taken off. Within 24 hours, we received an email from Glassdoor stating that they can help if we pay $10,000 a year so that we can manage our profile. UNBELIEVABLE! Glassdoor needs to be investigated!
We have taken another look at the post you flagged and will not be removing it from the site. The management can also submit their own reviews for the company. They are also allowed to updated their reviews whenever they want as long as it still meets our
When you look for a honest review of a company it shouldn't have a review on top from a manager so that it helps the ratings? Glass door feels its ok for the company to have someone do a five star rating so they can show a bad company to look like a better place to work at?
Why would you look for a review that the company can add a review to give you a false feeling to work there. Look for your self
Check it out luke dorf inc on Glass Door first one is five star fake, all the rest say don't work there. Rating of 2.4 only because glass door thinks its fair?
My experience. An account with 7 negative reviews turns after an invasion and in only one month into an account with 10 (fake) positive and 6 negative reviews. Required account activity control, denied. They live to give profit to companies.
Glassdoor have been having meetings with my boss on how to improve the bad company reviews on Glassdoor. Since these meetings suddenly the company is getting these glowing reviews which I know are not true!
I and my other 2 friends worked for the same company. We all left different times within the same year and we wrote reviews for the company. Which has its pros and cons. I and my friend worked there for over 12+ years. I left on a good note so it wasn't that bad of a review. Just some things they need to improve on. After some time, I went to check on Glassdoor to see the ratings. Only to see ALL the reviews we wrote were deleted! Even though they were on there for months! So it BS when they say "Your trust is our top concern, so companies can't alter or remove reviews." They don't even tell you why it got removed. So I think my old employer has some control. So I don't trust Glassdoor now.
