Overall Satisfaction with Glassdoor.com

Glassdoor.com has been a great resource of background information on companies that we are working with or that we may be planning on working with. It's helpful to get an "insider's" perspective of what it is like to work with and within an organization. We have found that Glassdoor.com has provided us with that window into many companies. It's a unique platform that no other outlet provides nearly as well.

Pros

  • Offers a wide variety of companies to research
  • Provider verified reviews from knowledgeable sources
  • Organizes relevant information to companies within their industry
  • Delivers easy to understand insights and reliable information
  • Has been the only resource to consistently provide these insights and follow companies over long periods of time.

Cons

  • Possibly pull in additional information from external sources for wider analysis
  • Implement an aggregated industry index and real-time reviews of the omnichannel operations of the companies it is providing reviews of
  • Deploy a real-time LLM that can respond to inquiries based on the years of data collection
  • Offer information on other companies based on inquiries to expand on relevant reviews and resourcing.
  • Reliable resource for top-talent in our industry
  • Provides information that we can depend on for working with individuals and organizations
  • Has changed the way that people communicate in a busy job market
  • Stays on top of industry needs for connecting employers and employees
  • Lead the way on many business communication and hiring platforms
I give this rating because I have used Glassdoor.com for many years and I am impressed with how they have continued to evolve their offerings. Not only that, they have continued to lead and set the bar for how employees can communicate about organizations and how employers can find the best talent. I've found the ongoing platform improvements to be the breath of fresh air in an often confusing job posting and employee hiring marketplace.
Compared to other services available, Glassdoor.com has always stood out because they provide an offering that is unique and continues to evolve and improve how the jobs marketplace can better serve organizations and applicants. While other job boards and services have come and gone, Glassdoor.com has been a consistent place where we can go to get a no-nonsense approach to our industry and the people who we look to do business with or to hire into our organization.

I would definitely recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues who are looking to get insights into the inner workings of an organization by the people who know it best - its employees. The variation of reviews of employees at all levels within an organization. The benefit to this is that it delivers a well-rounded perspective that provides deeper understanding of a company and the ways that they are perceived externally and how they operate in actual terms of acting as a reliable establishment to work for or work with.

Using Glassdoor.com

5 - The inner office team that uses Glassdoor.com have a variety of cross functional responsibilities. These would include Human Resources, Group Managers, Team Leaders and Direct Hiring Managers. The roles and responsibilities might vary for different hiring needs but the outcome was often consistent and reliable resourcing of top tier talent for our organization.
5 - The skills that are used for our Glassdoor.com hiring responsibilities will vary at times depending on the level of hire we are looking to make.

Evaluating Glassdoor.com and Competitors

Yes - I started using Glassdoor.com over other company review sites and it also replaced or superseded other job posting or application platforms. The key reason for this is that Glassdoor.com has a long standing reputation for reliability as a go-to source for current, curated, vetted and verified content. In a world with so many "hallucinations" and "un-truths", Glassdoor.com has maintained a quality resource that we can rely on with confidence.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
The factors of Cloud Solutions, Scalability and Ease of Use are key - but the most important for us has been the continued investment, innovation and improvement of the platform. Where some other platforms in the space have made minor improvements, we have found that Glassdoor.com has consistently stayed ahead of the pack. It's not an easy thing to do and it makes working with Glassdoor.com a favored experience.
If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing about how I evaluate platforms and what I choose to work with. I have a completely simple process:
1. Does the user experience and design of the platform work intuitively?
2. Do they provide consistently reliable resources?
3. Do they stand out as a leader in the category?
4. Do they continue to improve upon their products and services?
Since Glassdoor.com has continued to provide excellent solutions for us, we continue to come back. If they were ever to slip, or slide back in their quality we would certainly take note and would not hesitate to seek better solutions.
