6 | Glassdoor | https://www.glassdoor.com | Glassdoor is a job search and career community website that allows users to search for jobs, read detailed company reviews, past/current employees can leave anonymous company reviews, and view detailed salary information. | Glassdoor has an app and website. | Glassdoor is free for individuals and there are multiple paid features for job posters/companies. | 2007 | N/A | - Job listing: Glassdoor charges companies $249 per job to post jobs on their site (the first three postings are free). There are paid packages with different fees for large companies who will be posting many jobs. - Job advertising: Companies can pay for targeted job ads and the price depends on the reach. - Company branding: Can optimize their ads and see how they rank compared to competitors.

Many people were upset about the validity of the reviews and the barriers users have to cross to set up/use their accounts. Glassdoor has shifted in the past few years to focus on helping companies improve their ratings and there are multiple stories of people expressing issues with this for the validity of ratings and reviews being withdrawn. Regardless of he validity, the trust users have in the accuracy is damaged. Additionally, Glassdoor now classifies accounts as active and inactive. Only active accounts have access to all of the features. Active accounts have to continually add information on salaries and rate companies. However, this becomes an issue when people have the same job for long periods of time and cannot contribute new information. There are also stories of repercussions to company reviews - typically when there were few of a position or another way to figure out who likely wrote the review. Source, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4 | Glassdoor is a job platform with 44.1 million monthly users, 2.5 million company profiles, and 150 million posted reviews. People can post anonymous reviews about companies from past and current employers on workplace experiences, company culture, work/life balance, management, salary, and more. However, there is a lot of distrust in the validity of these reviews as people have had negative experiences within this space. Additionally, they started tagging accounts as active and inactive based on how recently they've contributed to the ratings/salaries of jobs/companies. Active accounts have access to features while inactive accounts do not. | |

However, customer support seems to lack and I saw lots of negative reviews about account recovery after hacks. Additionally, people had issues with accounts getting banned, too many ads, privacy concerns, and more recently the addition of an AI search chat as users say it does not work well. Facebook for business accounts had more issues with usability. When Facebook had the jobs section, there were largely negative reviews for it. Issues were seen on the applicant and business side. There was easy access to personal information, poor applications, low-quality applicants, fake postings, security issues, and more. Source, Source 2, Source 3 | Facebook is a social networking platform with 15.6 billion monthly users. Facebook did have a job feature, but it was removed in 2023.
