Glassdoor Reviews 215

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Rachel Gilmour and Kerry Adamson for helping me get the job of washroom service driver, look forward to being part of the rentokil initial family

left a review about my employer and it took balls to trust Glassdoor as I was worried about doing it. I’ve just had an email to say they’ve removed my review as it’s fraudulent!

Absolute dumpster-fire of a website. You can't even find what you're looking for anymore as the UX is so bad. Roll on a competitor.

The website locks the screen and forces me to put my salary or review about a current employer. However, due to the fact that I was self-employed so far in the UK and busy with my own projects, I can't complete those steps and unlock this screen. I don't want to lie neither (but apparently this is what GlassDoor wants or forces the visitors to do!).
Based on their limited opinion, a visitor should be already employed in a company to be able to see the information about other companies on the website, which is such a meaningless rule; It doesn't consider all possibilities and it is not comprehensive enough for all types of work/experience.. In this case, self-employed people like me or even people with no previous experience, will never be able to reach information and will find themselves in a loophole, or should lie....(!) to unlock the screen.
* The website needs to widen its perspective, and review their restrictive rules.

Cannot get past the opening pop-ups, enter location etc. and all rejected repeatedly, irritating waste of time

Not relevant anymore with comments, ratings, and salary estimates being inaccurate. Also, the setting up of an account just to view a company is ridiculous.

Used to be helpful and informative, now it's just another work social media platform that forces you to complete forms like a scam website does.. what have you become Glassdoor?

What a horrid website.

This might be the most irritating website to browse on the internet, and that's a high bar. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

Absolutely awful website to navigate. Attempts to force significant volumes of irrelevant personal data from you before you can see anything in it.

Completely unnecessary, a gdpr legal disaster waiting to happen.

The website Is awful.

All I wanted to do was to search for reviews on selected companies but to do so, I had to create an account, put my working details in, put a review and list my current salary.

Do not create an account or visit the website

I have just thoroughly checked, and they have definitely removed my review of my employer. I thought it was strange that my company's rating had magically gone up over night, and it seems that negative reviews my colleagues and I posted have been removed and replaced with clearly fake positive ones.

Glassdoor have rendered their whole business completely redundant with this outright lying to people who are just looking for honest reviews before taking on a job. What a disgusting, repugnant company. I really hope Glassdoor goes out of business and is replaced by something honest.

I reported a few reviews for the company I work for because they were clearly not for the correct company (both companies have the same name but two very different industries). Glassdoor said that the reviews were acceptable and would remain...
They also set my profile to the wrong company and then would only let me change it if I told them my work email! No chance. I deleted my account instead

Glassdoor's services are based on bribery. You can't view anything without being forced to complete a time consuming review of your company - perhaps I don't want to give a review. Forcing people to review will generate poor data, greatly misrepresenting companies, flawing Glassdoor's own actual purpose.

Useful information if you can get access to it but their tactics to get more information is flawed. It’s a shame because it could provide a valuable service.

Glassdoor forces you to reveal employment info if you want to use the site. Extortion!

The system feels corrupt.

It's impossible to leave an honest negative review of a company. I've worked for 5 companies in my life, and left positive reviews for 3 of them - those are absolutely untouched. The 2 negative ones are repeatedly removed, sometimes within a week, sometimes after 6 months.

It's become apparent that the report/removal system is being monetized by individuals who advertise their negative review removal services on a major video sharing platform. I speculate that it could be a major source of income for Glassdoor to have negative reviews removed for a fee.

It's become wholly unreliable for it's intended purpose as negative reviews are rarely allowed to stand. You cannot mention harassment, workplace bullying or low salaries/lower than average salary for a particular industry because Glassdoor will remove the review. They won't tell you why, or allow you to appeal the decision as there is no way to speak to a representative of the company.

Thank you TP for your integrity and allowing honest reviews to stand.

Allows 'free speech' then takes all the 1 star reviews away when the company complains.

Great 'honest' website, luring staff into terrible companies.

The point of glassdoor is what? Clearly the glassdoor is very dirty.....

You can't see reviews unless you add a review. Not good.

Glassdoor is the worst ever company to leave a review.
they deleted my review about Northumbria university because it was only 1 star !.
probably the ceo of the university is too ashamed of the mess and glassdoor immediately deleted it .
they are unfair and approve only the review approved by the companies they pay them .
totally avoid and do not trust their faked positive reviews.
Moreover they do no have respect of our privacy because they collect our details if we want to write a review
