Glassdoor Reviews 

A few years ago, Glassdoor was a reliable and useful website for job seekers. But they turned really bad, with a UI that does not give proper info. For instance:

- saying 500 reviews available on some company, but almost none that can be read, no matter what you try

- showing job offers that are past due

Extremely disappointed in Alan’s behavior

My son, Jack, works as a forklift operator and came home extremely upset after an encounter with Alan. Alan reportedly told him on the spot that he wasn’t good enough and that he could find someone better. This kind of treatment is completely unprofessional and mentally harmful.

Alan clearly lacks basic people skills and the ability to communicate constructively. Making a young worker feel humiliated and depressed is unacceptable. No one should have to experience this in the workplace.

I am deeply concerned about the impact this kind of behavior has on employees’ mental health.

Any review that is not 5 stars with NO criticism is extremely hard to get published. Any company can have a great rating if they are dedicated enough to censor ones that they don't like.

I felt racism in the feedback of the interview,I would not recommend to work in this company

When searching for jobs you have to select a city. Can't select a country or nothing. If you're interested in remote jobs or relocation - you can't search for offers.
Contacted support, they said they don't control their job searches and that instead I should create an account on Indeed and ask them. What a joke...

Absolute waste of time. Aviod

The website crashes multiple times.

Cloudflare checks pop up at random times (virus).

Has a dubious criteria to moderate reviews: some reviews are rejected for no clear reason (E.g. referring to an interviewer as recruiter). And others are accepted using the same reference.

Unusable website.

Worst UI I've ever seen.

I'm deleting my account as it insists on compulsory forms too much.

And it's already had the information from me previously.

Read a review, want to read more? Glassdoor let's you do that once you fill out all the job fields and the fields have to match their crappy categories. You can't tell them to F off in one of the fields because there is no 'university of F off".

Glassdoor is nice in theory, but the way they operate is unethical in two different ways.

First, you’re required to write a review of a former (or current, but don’t do that) employer in order to access the information that Glassdoor is hoarding after users offered the information in good faith for free. Haven’t had a job in awhile? Then you’re not eligible to get help finding a new one. The result of this policy is that many job-seekers lie about where they’ve worked and about their experiences, illegitimatizing the data that has been carefully amassed.

Secondly, they restrict some reviews - generally, this being disgruntled employees who had egregious situations happen against them. They’ll flag your review for being too critical, even if you’ve said nothing untrue or unfair.

Glassdoor is a company that hoards data that wasn’t intended to be exclusive, is full of bunk reviews, and limits respectful free speech.

Zero stars. I signed up and then they force you to answer questions, after saying I receive no extra pay through the year (public high school teacher) they kicked me out. How does that compute? Doesn't sound reputable to me, will not be recommending to anyone, including students. Have a nice day.

Just tried to do a review after what I considered a good interview experience however I got ghosted by the company when chasing feedback after my interview. Wouldn’t let me submit the review as they won’t accept “remote” as a job location or “video”, “MS Teams” or “online” as location for interview

Starting from 2019, I've actually spent a lot of time writing truthful reviews on companies with poor practices, hoping these reviews would help other freelancers. A few months ago my "Contributions" tab would just never load. Today I was finally able to access it and found all my reviews removed. I didn't even get a notification.

I tried resubmitting a couple of reviews, and it turned out that they wouldn't let you post a review if you salary submission was "well or excessively below the market average". Well, duh! Would I be complaining if my salary was satisfactory? Glassdoor is just another fake, dodgy platform.

I had an account banned and 5 attempts at submitting a review against my former employer removed.

My former employer engaged in bullying, discrimination, and sexual harassment; which I was a victim of.

When I reported it to HR, I was effectively silenced with unpaid "stress leave" and then termination.

My reviews only mentioned bullying and discrimination but each one was taken down and I was effectively banned. I emailed the support team multiple times and they either ignored me or sent me a copy-and-paste AI-generated script. I even explained in the emails yhe level of discrimination that occurs at this Company and how censoring sexual harrassment is unethical. They actively removed all negative reviews from this Company.

One agent even disclosed another's account details to me by wrongfully emailing me instead of the other person, breaching privacy, and they keep ignoring my emails regarding it.

Had to speak to the ICO and make a formal complaint after weeks of being fobbed off. Company is a poor source of information and is rooted in corruption and defamation.

Glassdoor forced me to write a review for a company. I had to put a fake salary and pros and cons. It's absurd. I wanted to look up information on a company I was interested in, but was forced to write a review. I feel bad for the company I wrote about. What should have taken me 2 minutes to look up took 15 minutes,s and now there is bad information on a different company. The experience was so bad, I had to find another review site to review glassdoor.

MOST ANNOYING WEBSITE TO USE EVER!!! always has pop ups asking to do something can't even use or access the data. Just let me pat $1 for you to stop

Why does the recent platform force me to make I review for a company I never worked for before I could even view my dashboard .

Glassdoor is a joke. Only people who are angry or had a bad experience will bother to write reviews, so of course everything skews negative. That’s just human nature. It doesn’t reflect the real picture of any company.

What’s funny is Glassdoor itself has only 1 star on Trustpilot. If the platform can’t even earn trust from its own users, how can anyone see it as legitimate?

This site is toxic, misleading, and should never be taken seriously.
