Glassdoor

Glassdoor is where employees say what they actually think. Reviews, salary reports, and an archive of real interview questions asked at specific companies make it the closest thing to talking to someone who already works there, before you've met anyone who does.

What it does

• Employee reviews of culture, management, and work-life balance
• Salary reports by role and location
• Archived interview questions and process notes from real candidates
• Ratings trends that show whether a company is getting better or worse

The interview archive is the habit worth building: before every onsite, read what candidates for your exact role were asked. It's not cheating, it's preparation, and the questions repeat more often than companies would like to admit.

Pricing

Free. Glassdoor uses a give-to-get model, so you'll be nudged to contribute a review or salary data point to keep full access. A fair trade, and your data helps the next person.

Who it's for

• Anyone with an interview scheduled: read the archive first, every time
• Job seekers screening companies before investing in an application
• People sanity-checking a salary range or a too-good-to-be-true posting

Read reviews in aggregate, not one at a time. The angriest and happiest voices are overrepresented; the pattern across dozens is what's true.

How it fits an Offboard search

Glassdoor is raw material; the work is turning it into a decision. Offboard's company intel pulls research into the same place as your applications, so what you learn actually shapes which roles you pursue. For hard comp numbers by level, add Levels.fyi; for a softer read on culture, The Muse.
