It can feel like it's out of your hands, and the way reviews work sometimes you have a few disgruntled people that are very loud and that leave who can make it seem like the culture is way worse than it is. Most of their paid features seem to me like hard to justify: Like not showing your competitors job ads when people are browsing your own site, I don't like that business practice much.

“Glassdoor Offers Helpful Salary Data But Lacks Consistent Detail For All Jobs”

2.0
Oct 23, 2025
Overall, Glassdoor can be a true hit or miss when it comes to providing the detailed and applicable content that you are searching for. I use Glassdoor to help me with negotiations, company searches, and position searches. I find that Glassdoor information can be unhelpful at times or can exclude information that you are looking for such as specific salaries and job titles.

Glassdoor Likes & Dislikes

Like

It's quite a unique site and no other options showcase your culture in a way that feels as genuine as Glassdoor. Almost every candidate we speak to checks our Glassdoor, which makes maintaining it a necessity

Like

I do like the salary ranges when available and the comments from current or previous employees. I have used that information to make decisions about whether to compare companies.

Like

What I like most about its transparency it offers.it allows employees to share honest feedback about their company work culture with more relevant questions that people are always needed to check before they want to join the company.

Dislike

Of course you can't edit people's reviews, but sometimes the platform feels like an unfair representation of our actual culture. I'd like the features offered to go beyond basic employer branding and things like removing your competitors from the side bar of your company page!

Dislike

Glassdoor has the potential to provide a lot of information, but tends to fall short at times. I know it is based on what others submit, but there needs to be a better way to verify. I also feel like there just isn't enough variety of information available for different companies and positions.

Dislike

The only dislike I have is that Glassdoor doesn't reveal the leaders name when employees share negative feedback.

Director of Information Security
I am trying to get a magic quadrant of top sites and applications for STEM talent search and jobposting... currently I have on the radar: Indeed, myworkdayjobs, glassdoor What are the top ones and what would you highlight about them?
Senior Information Security Manager
Strictly speaking, if you want a Magic Quadrant, then you’d have to go to Gartner since it is a trademarked term and only Gartner can issue Magic Quadrants. With that, I think Glassdoor is likely your best source.

What are you doing pro-actively to increase Glassdoor ratings?
Interim HR Director
Beyond acting as a good employers . We ask employees  to  review  in their 1st year post probation and on certain major anniversaries ( there is a method is behind this which proportionality results in more good ratings it seems ! )  Allways  respond to negative ratings  and if it refers to anyone individually (even it thats not by named  then you can get it struck out

    Good employer branding platform where the organisation can showcase culture, values, and attract candidates who align with their goals. Analytics features for company profile and reviews. Job postings can be improved by automatically removing expired postings or filled positions.
