It also asks me to use the app.

I’m just getting into the work force and was trying to look up the company where I was thinking of applying, but it said I needed to sign in to view the review, so I entered some fake information. Once I was signed in I went back to the page thinking I could read the review, but now I need to write a review before I get access to Glassdoor! And I can’t do that because I don’t have any prior paid work experience!

    It’s believed that Glassdoor’s business model is to charge companies for removing bad reviews. So how much value can the rating provide is questionable in the first place.

    Personally, for big companies, there are always people writing their work experiences on an open platform. For small companies, it’s unlikely to find a relevant review, if any, on Glassdoor anyway. So I never bothered to use it.

        I’d wager he means something like the fediverse, reddit, various microblogging sites. There are plenty sharing experiences working for Google, Apple and what not.
