Company Reviews From Employees & Candidates
Main Post:
Welcome to project TRUTHFUL REVIEWS- this thread is to rate your current or past employer and companies based on candidate experience HERE!
We really want to help job seekers right now in this time of strife target good companies and not waste time with bad ones. Due to a clear unmet need from sites like Glassdoor and Indeed (they do not allow truthful reviews from Employees nor Candidates interviewing and Glassdoor clearly does alter and omit bad reviews), I'd like to start a subreddit to allow people to honestly review companies, for good and bad and everything between here.
I'm not sure yet how to organize this as I'm not that familiar yet with Reddit as a poster. We've been doing about a year of talking to employees and candidates as well as our own job search experiences. Any tips welcome as this is for EVERYONE to benefit from.
If you would like to participate in this project--and we sure hope you will--for the greater good! suggesting either (1- If your username is identifiable to you, create another reddit account that doesn't have personal identifiers or (2- if you'd like as we have done for a few of the reviews already under this thread so far, you are welcome to send your review via chat or DM and we will post it on your behalf if that's easiest for you. *If choosing option 2, just Include: Company name, if you're reviewing as a current or former employee or job seeker, and your overall thoughts. If your job title would identify you easily to the company (ex CEO), I would not recommend including that however if it's vague enough such as Customer Service Rep, that should be anonymous enough in most cases.
See below for uniform structure of things to include:
-Company Name-Poster's relationship (Current or Former Employee OR Candidate that applied or Interviewed)
-Document thoughts on your experiences with them including how recruiting is, onboarding, job experience, culture, pay, benefits and the current health of the business.
Note - If you want to share department or job title, just be cognizant to maintain your anonymity, so do not post anything personally identifiable to you, if you wish to maintain this.
We truly hope this project to help all jobseekers achieves its intended goal.
Top Comment: Company: iA American *Positive Candidate Experience, posting on behalf of candidate for anonymity Candidate, applied for US based job. Screened and went through one round of interviews with 2 hiring mangers (panel). I believe the managers were in Canada and the Recruiter was in the US. Outcome: Although I wasn't ultimately offered the job, the experience with this company was stellar as every interaction was professional and the recruiter did the type of job I'd do in being on top of communication, at every step of the game. They proactively offered me feedback which fell to the other candidate they chose had experience with a specific software they were migrating to. I would definitely keep them on my target list if I were looking for a new job and as of 2023 would highly recommend them as a candidate.
Glassdoor reviews for company are either extremely positive or extremely negative
Main Post:
I received a new grad offer from a startup (Series B, not exactly sure about # of employees, but crunchbase says ~100-250). In the last two months there have been ~10 new reviews on glassdoor from mostly current & some former employees, but I'm quite confused what to make of them because the reviews are either very positive or very negative. The positive ones are generally quite short and boil down to "great company, smart & nice coworkers" with the only potential con being the fast pace. The negative ones are oftentimes very long and have similar overarching themes of an inner circle/favoritism, lack of direction, no work-life balance, and CTO's toxic management style. How would you interpret Glassdoor reviews like this?
Top Comment: The positive reviews are fake and fake reviews are a red flag. Pay close attention to the specific points of the negative reviews and be prepared to confirm their veracity aggressively (hunt for red flags, read between the lines of what you see) if you proceed with the company.

Top Comment: Live Chat Jobs is an online platform that claims to connect people with flexible, remote jobs that involve managing live chat support for businesses. The promise? No phone calls, no meetings—just text-based support you can do from anywhere. This review breaks down the reality behind Live Chat...
How much stock do you put into company reviews when looking for a job?
Main Post:
As the title says. I’m job searching and usually check out the reviews on the company before any real consideration. Do y’all take those reviews seriously? Or do you think that it’s mostly disgruntled former employees that leave reviews?
Top Comment: I always check glass door and don’t bother with companies below 3.5 tbh
Don't trust Indeed reviews. They are heavily curated. Truthful reviews are deleted etc.
Main Post:
I had a horrible experience with an employer.
No matter what I say the review gets rejected. Indeed is a horrible platform. They really don't want people to speak about their experiences. Certain employers have an incredibly toxic environment or practice deception but magically your reviews will get deleted for ''violating community guidelines''.
What they really mean is that community guidelines include protecting companies from their own abuses. Don't trust this website. They protect toxicity of employers. They're not there for employees to truly warn others about what to expect. Indeed is a dishonest platform. Same for Glassdoor actually. Most relevant and MUCH needed reviews are deleted. You will never see them appear on the website.
I had an employer bait and switch me for a position. Then ghost me afterwards. Shouldn't I be able to leave a review about my experience? They deleted my review twice.
Top Comment: Oh absolutely. I have seen so many obvious fake reviews of my last employer, it's laughable to anyone who actually has worked there from about 2015 until now. Surprisingly, one of my old reviews in which I called them a toxic workplace two years ago is actually still up.
