“Limited Compensation Details Lead To Incomplete Insights For Employers And Employees”

3.0
Apr 17, 2026
Employer side response is limited to what can be shared. Typically, only gather feedback from departed employees. Current employees have to be encouraged but not incentivized to provide a review. We found/find it necessary to monitor and respond to negative ratings from past employees that didn't provide truthful or complete details.

Glassdoor Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I liked the most about using Glassdoor is that it shares interview questions and tips. This helps candidates to be more prepared and confident during the interview. Also, Glassdoor shows current and former employee reviews which helps job seekers know the culture and work environment of a certain company. We, as job seekers, also have a view on the salary ranges a company offers which set realistic expectations and support better negotiations.

Like

It is a widely known and heavily marketed service/product that at the basic level is provided free of charge to employees, employers, and ex-employees.

Like

We have control over the backend of how we utilize it while also being transparent to individuals who want to learn more about the organization.

Dislike

This might not be proven but the reviews can be potentially biased and outdated. Some reviews may be too positive or negative and it may also no longer represent the current work environment of the company. Aside from that, some salary data or reviews often require users to submit their review first which can feel restrictive. There is also some difference in the accuracy of the data shown, especially on the salary ranges and mixed feedback which makes it harder to determine which information is the most reliable.

Dislike

Limited information gathered on compensation, typically only base wages and minimal details on total compensation package. This results in a missed opportunity for employers and employees to provide a more complete picture of what is offered.

Dislike

There are some reviews which are linked under an incorrect organization. Our group has gone through multiple name changes, and there are some errors with some data. Because we only have the account under one of the names, it is taking much longer to get some items revised. I wish there were also more opportunities to share data we already invest in other systems, whether it is a widget or something else to easily show the information.

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

    There have been some significant challenges with other organizations which has similar names, and making sure that the correct reviews were under our organization rather than under the other ones (even if they were bad). Overall, the ability to personalize our page is great and to respond to reviewers as well.
