### "Great Source For Higher Paying Positions"

June 14, 2022

5.0

Glassdoor is on the top of the list of quality job boards. It brings in the highest quality candidates to your more difficult jobs to fill. People using Glassdoor know that this is a quality job board with quality jobs.

Pros

You can really focus on showcasing your company culture and attract qualified candidates to your company as opposed to a certain job title. Getting candidates to buy into your company before just the job is imperative to finding a candidate that will stay for the long haul

Cons

It's a bit hard to navigate at first as it's unlike normal job boards. It's quite dynamic. Once you learn how to navigate all the tools it is worth the initial frustrations.

Reason for choosing Glassdoor

Anyone who knows Glassdoor knows they are a high end job board that quality candidates use to get the highest paying and best jobs from.

### "Look Into the Glassdoor to Know What You're Getting Into"

July 19, 2022

5.0

Overall my experience with Glassdoor has been a good one. This software is really easy to use and anyone can quickly learn how to get the most out of it.

Pros

I really enjoy the anonymity of sharing information about companies. You're also not required to have an account to find the information you're looking for.

Cons

There's very little to say here except that maybe the application process isn't as intuitive as it could be.

Switched from

LinkedIn did not provide specifics about company cultures (mostly because there is no anonymity so people feel they must limit what can be said.)

### "Glassdoor has power but there is limited support for employers"

May 16, 2024

3.0

Glassdoor is a necessary tool that should be included in your employer brand strategy. I reckon a proactive approach to the platform that get the most of out it. More recently, I've watched Guru become a place for underperforming ex-employees to crucify employers. Glassdoor hasn't innovated much in 6+ years of using the platform so hopefully they build additional value and features to identify ex-employees posting multiple reviews.

Pros

Glassdoor can be fantastically powerful when it comes to features like analytics tracking impressions and page views. This is a really useful tool to measure your employer brand and you can often attribute spikes in volume to PR or other announcements. To increase awareness on employees reviewing, you can generate campaign links in a seamless automated way. It is easy to customise the employer brand within the portal and easy to use.

Cons

Glassdoor has limited support when it comes to employees abusing a Glassdoor profile. In multiple instances, we've had single employees post numerous fake reviews (which were proven) and it took weeks for Glassdoor to react to this flag and remove these reviews. Whilst I understand they need to ensure employers can't remove bad reviews, it is important to ensure employers are also supported when ex-employees abuse the platform.

### "A great app for viewing job postings"

December 10, 2022

5.0

Overall, I thoroughly enjoy the software. I receive emails daily, and they are always geared to my field of work.

Pros

I like how many jobs are featured. I like how the wage is posted in the email alerts.

Cons

There is nothing I did not like about the software. This is my favourite job posting app.

I like how the wages are posted in the email alerts. I like how they highlight high-paying jobs.

### "My Glassdoor Website Experience "

February 21, 2023

5.0

Glassdoor has made it much easier for people like myself to gain insight into the culture and work environment of any particular organization. Not only does it allow me to read reviews from current and former employees, but also provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the company in question. This website has a very user-friendly interface to make navigation easier for me.

Pros

One of the most unique features of JobFind is that employees can leave ratings and reviews on opportunities related to career growth and development. This feature can have helped me to assess potential employers and decide whether a particular job is a right fit for me.

Cons

I experienced some limitations while using the platform. Glassdoor reviews cannot always be taken as gospel truth. It is open to anyone to post their reviews, so it can be hard to verify if they are credible or unbiased. It is possible that some reviews come from current or ex-employees who have had a bad experience and are disgruntled.

### "Glassdoor - A place to learn about companies and jobs!"

September 6, 2022

5.0

Glassdoor has been crucial to finding quality candidates for open roles and helping showcase the employer brand to highlight culture, benefits, sentiment, etc. It is a great platform to not only help job seekers but companies looking for the right fit as well!

Pros

Glassdoor's UI is extremely easy to use and has an appealing look and feel to navigation. Making changes to your profile, adding resume and job history information, creating email notifications - these are features that are very important to job seekers and make finding a company to work for a joy to find.

Cons

Sometimes it is hard to search for specific companies due to their elastic search function, but overall it's an easy work around.

July 14, 2022

5.0

My experience with the app was overall a good one, being able to read reviews about different companies, and getting to know more about the job market.

Pros

I like the most the fact that I can see interviews, job posting, salary informations and company reviews for different companies on the app, allowing the candidate to kind of filter during the job hunting process.

Cons

The candidate profile could be improved allowing the user to add more informations about himself.

### "Good website for seeking vacancies "

September 10, 2022

3.0

Its good. However, when you are looking for a job, you cant miss galssdoor as its one of the reputed websites to find your new career with.

Pros

I like the way they organize the website structure, its good and straight forward. Plus, they provide some good features like salaries and companies reviews.

Cons

I start feeling that a lot of their vacancies are not real. Its impossible to apply for hundreds of jobs that matching 100% my skills and experience without even being called from the employer! But, I can't blame glassdoor. It may be a fake position from the employer himself.

### "Best website for an individual to anonymously review any company he/she worked on"

July 7, 2021

5.0

Overall I could see that there is a monopoly of Glassdoor when reviewing a company anonymously. Hence, this platform is recommended by everyone who works in any organization to get the inside news and take appropriate future decisions.

Pros

1\. This tool enables the public to know the inside view of the company which he has applied for or going to join soon. 2. Revealing review to the public is a great way to identify if the company is functioning in an employee-friendly way.

Cons

Whistleblowing can sometimes lead to consequences if the person has not anonymously reviewed his company which may impact his hard time if the person is the employer of the same company.

### "Great for Building Brand Awareness "

November 18, 2020

5.0

We have had a great experience with Glassdoor so far. I love how you can highlight positive reviews and interviews by featuring them. It helps to underscore your company's positive attributes.

Pros

Becoming an engaged employer on Glassdoor is a key part of employer branding given that the majority of candidates will review your Glassdoor page before deciding whether or not to join your company. You can easily connect with applicants on Glassdoor via your job postings as well as curated content that you can publish directly to your page. Glassdoor has really in depth analytics that allow you to do a deep dive into your reviews. My company has multiple offices in the US and globally and through reviews analytics, we are able to see what offices the most positive/negative feedback is coming from as well as which position titles write the most positive/negative reviews. You can also see what words are most common in positive/negative reviews which helps us to gauge what we are doing well and what we need to improve.

Cons

There aren't too many cons to think of. Sometimes former employees who quit years prior will leave reviews and they will show up as recent which could confuse potential candidates.

Glassdoor is a helpful job searching resource with the benefit of having feedback from employees.

Pros

I really appreciate the comments from current and former employees as they are helping in learning about the work environment and experience at a company I may be interested in working for.

Employers cant post job directly, if it is true,not liked in my opinion.

Reason for choosing Glassdoor

LinkedIn is also a great option

June 30, 2021

5.0

its amazing, found interesting information while applying jobs.

Pros

There are lot. Good way to apply jobs with a lot of information about the company, salary estimations, the interview questions and a lot. It gives the information how the job is divided and how the salary is ranging for a particular job. People applied for job and people who got a job will be posting sample interview questions and answers which is of very help when attending an interview.

Cons

nothing as of such can make the phone application better as it is a bit lag in the phone application.

### "Know the Employees Experience"

April 2, 2021

5.0

I get to have a peak on how does the company impact its employee through glassdoor, you can see how satisfied they are when it comes to flexibility of working hours, salary and compensation, allowance and incentive, including employees recommendation if it's worth it to apply to a certain job. The things that we need to know that aren't shown on the job postings of HRs are posted in Glassdoor. So before you apply glassdoor should be a good platform to use.

Pros

I like that it has a fair feature where you can see the salary of specific jobs from specific companies. It gives you the idea of how much can they offer and if it's worth it to apply on a job.

Cons

I think they should market the Glassdoor more to reach out for more users so that the resources and information found on the software would grow as well, because it's not complete at all, but I cannot blame them because all the views and opinions stated on Glassdoor are purely from real employers and that's what important for me.

March 28, 2023

This software is useful when it comes to companies that are my clients - for example, it helps understand better what my candidates should expect should they decide to interview for them.

Pros

I like being able to read overviews about competing companies, my clients, or companies where I sent applications to.

Cons

I don't like the fact that I have to sign up and give my personal details to read reviews of other companies.

Pros

I love that you can compare salaries, read reviews on different companies and positions, and apply to jobs directly through Glassdoor. I also love that you can cater your searches to specific fields you are looking for and locations.
