Glassdoor Reviews 216

Too many hopelessly inappropriate recommendations and unsubscribing seems impossible, tried 4 times so far over 2 months

I'm trying to give you my honest feedback about the PayZilch CTO. You keep rejecting it but you do not explain the reason apart from "contains unacceptable profanities or obscenities" which it is not true. Following yours reviews guidelines I'm describing "individual’s behavior or performance at work"

Not publishing honest negative feedback.

I went on here to read reviews about a company with whom I have a job interview lined up. Instead everytime I try and read the reviews, a pop up box comes up asking me what my role is, what my salary is, advising I have to sign in to continue reading. I don't want to sign up or create an account and I certainly don't want to fill in information about myself. All I wanted was to read some employee reviews so I could gage whether or not to accept the job if I am successful at interview.

Useless website, Needless to say I didn't get anywhere.

A wild place for false information and breading ground for negativity and bitterness. People who are busy working and contribute to the society do not have time to go through Glassdoor’s lengthy and intrusive demanding for personal details information in order to leave truthful feedback, whereas a few who hold grudges against others for their own failure have time and desire to rant and rave.

I unsubscribed a week ago- I'm still getting bombarded with spam emails, two, three a day.

If I could give zero then I would. This website is ridiculous. I am all up for Free Speech but when you have had to let an employee go for reasons that we can't discuss online and they are given a forum to completely negate any goodness we do as a company, I think it's crazy. You can't even accurately contest reviews without evidence. This website is a sister company to Indeed and I can tell you right now, that I will NEVER advertise any job roles with Glassdoor or Indeed ever again!!

Unable to access content without a self-declared (in the url) content wall in which you need to add multitudes of personal information about where you work, your salary, and a compulsory review of your employer. It excludes people who are unemployed, self employed, or those who simply do not wish to give out so much personal information. The site is called Glass Door for goodness sake! Rebrand already. I hope someone sets up an alternative as it's now unuseable.

The worst job site I've came across, just wanted to check some reviews on a company I was interested in, makes you jump through hoops to do so, and constant pop ups, found a other site and got the info I needed but without all the hassle.

Hasn’t accepted a single one of my negative reviews, but accepts positive ones, I asked for an explanation and their answer was because I written multiple reviews for the same company, which I had not, I can only assume they’re paid to make certain companies look good.

Doesn't work at all it's just proper fake and SCAM

Just don't go there, utterly pointless and a waste of your time.

you don't have access to ANY information unless you enter your personal details. how about no!?

Used to be helpful - now the site just wants to collect your data. You can't access anything without having to fill in endless personal details. Also i know for a fact that most of the "positive reviews" on my company page have been left by senior managers disguising as employees.

Don't even visit the website, i looked at one page and so far its taken me 3 days to try and close the account if forced me to sign up to in order to view the page, I wouldnt let me manually delete the account so I had to email them, I then had to fill in another form to request they delete my details, which triggered another email, that had a link I had to click to verify my email address, it then sent another email telling me to await further instructions... FFS I just wanted to look at ONE PAGE...3 days ago!!!

absolutely absymal experience....complete with cut/paste emails from customer "service"

I utilise Glassdoor only to review companies, as it has a sophisticated system in order to flag down companies, even if you’ve just interviewed there and nothing more.

The anonymity of the engine isn’t great though, and the rest of the app doesn’t compare well to other job search engine giants.

Use this app as a supplement to your job search but don’t take it too seriously unless reviewing, and even then be cautious so that employers cannot identify you.

I've been in my current position for over 20 years. I am happy and have no intention of moving on. I was therefore surprised when GlassDoor sent me an email. Where have they got my personal email address from? This is a personal email address that only gets given to friends and family. It's never been used for shopping on the Internet or used to register with any company anywhere,

I approached GlassDoor to obtain a copy of my personal data that they hold, and to ascertain where they have got that data from. Their response, after completing an identity verification process, is that it would take 30 days to process my request.

30 days? I find it hard to believe that such a company is still using pen, paper and abacuses. They must be - why else would it take 30 days to get access to my data?

I hate to think how long it must take to register your CV and start looking for a job on this site.

The data section of Glassdoor which gives salary benchmark data is simply put "rubbish". Individuals have to jump over so many hoops when accessing the site that they are obviously typing in rubbish information which is then provided as an average. The data is then pointless.

The site encourages disgruntled employees to leave reviews, damaging the reputation of companies. It has the audacity to say it only allows reviews within its community guidelines, but when you question a review and given examples of where it contravenes their guidelines, they ignore you.

A silly site that contains no substance other than to provide places for advertisers to waste their money on.

Wants ALL your employer details including website, boss’ last known movements. Wants your blood type, DNA profile, your last movements, home address, children’s details for an “anonymous” website. Too much, so unhelpful. You don’t need the employers actual name and website for this surely?? So frustrating. Otherwise you get to choose the option of leaving a review of a company which is just as intrusive as the first option. I only wanted to look at salaries, I had no intention of bringing my own employment into it.

Don’t USE it
One you register, they will bury you in useless emails
You want to delete your account with them? Lol
You won’t be able to!!!
Last step gonna be to enter your pass, even that pass it’s 100% correct they won’t accept it
