"Best way to learn about potential employer, still way to go to find a job there"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Glassdoor?

Glassdoor is one of the best ways for jobseekers to find insights about their potential employer. This includes- Interview questions/process, Salaries, Benefits and reviews about work-culture. However, beyond a specific employer- I find the best feature to be "Salary insights". It helps one find out what he/she is worth, and take this insight on the negotiating table for the best offer. One also learns about worth of various job profiles and locations - and thus enables an informed career switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glassdoor?

Foremostly- anonymity. Anonymous reviews give opportunity for anyone to rant about any company they dislike. These reviews are not verified. Thus, glassdoor becomes host to negative reviews, and someone coming to their website looking to find cons, will easily find one. Secondly, their job section is incomplete and hardly is of any use to anyone outside of the US. They should add more jobs. Also, they could add "people working at" section which maps Linkedin profile of people working at a particular company. It will make it easier for others to contact existing employees for a deeper, more personal insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Glassdoor:

If you're researching about a prospective employer, give it a human touch by contacting someone who works at the company you're looking for on Linkedin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Glassdoor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am looking to bridge the information gap when it comes to salaries in a particular company and also to be better prepared about prospective employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
