How best to use Glassdoor.com

Resource: Glassdoor.com

Type: This is a portal site, mainly focusing on salary, company reviews, and interview information. The information is collected anonymously by employees of the companies, and can be viewed by type of company (industry), geographically, and/or job title.

Review: When this site first debuted, they had a subscription model to view the full database of information. Users could gain access to the database for free if they provided some personal information (their salary, questions asked in their interview, or reviews of their employer.) It is now a free, ad supported service that still relies on user supplied data about these three aspects. It can be a good resource to get a quick read on the salary for the type of job you are looking for in your geographic area. The interview questions can also be helpful to review as you prepare for a job interview. When using the company reviews, keep in mind that they are supplied by the users and may possibly be biased.
