A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I would agree, but Glassdoor didn't always used to be like this. When they started it was an extremely great premise, and people flocked to it. Glassdoor was to exiting a company as LinkedIn was to entering a company. But they got greedy, they dropped their (very high honestly) morals to try to cast a wider net. They started catering to businesses rather than the people providing the information.
I remember when they started enforcing accounts just to see salaries and companies and knew it was well over then. It used to be free information for anyone to check on a company, now it's just garbage. I don't trust the reviews, companies push employees to make fake reviews, and it's all trash.
