Just found this app today. I found some of the earlier compensation discussions to be fascinating. Can we gauge the community for a comparison? I'm a PM here at Glassdoor. Thank you!
Glassdoor has lots of censorship. If it wasn't for that, it would be better.

I use glassdoor while switching companies or preparing for interviews. Blind every day!
There's a sea of difference when it comes to compensation numbers. I'd rather have the raw per-person data from blind and do my own filtering than wonder how the heck the summary statistics on Glassdoor are so freakin biased (towards the low end of course). This coming from someone who was on the market and negotiated recently.
Not to mention, even the highest numbers on Glassdoor don't match the truth in many cases.
@Gnu, I think a lot of that has to do with outliers. But fair point. I've also felt that the raw info from Blind users to be very insightful.
Glassdoor is great but it'd be more useful if there were more filters or even just keyword search. Once we get to larger companies and I'm sifting through all the customer service rep reviews from employees located in India, it's hard to find information that is useful to me.
We are well aware of this. :)
Ah good, excited to see any changes that come.
Completely agree with above, Glassdoor numbers screwed me up and I didn't negotiate thinking I am getting more for that position
There's raw salary information also available on salarytalk.org
But it still lacks the conversation element
True. Glassdoor definitely is useful but it's nice to have another angle to the numbers with date stamps etc. That's my biggest gripe with Glassdoor...I don't know how they came up with those numbers since the raw data isn't available and the numbers seems slightly lower than current market rates.
glassdoor and payscale were what I regrettably used when evaluating my job offer here at tableau. They were so skewed towards the low end that I didn't even know how much of a chump I was until I found this app over a year later. i assume this is because the numbers on those sites are outdated and older reports are used in the calculations. I am now horrified to find that I'm making around 70 to 80 percent less than others with similar experience. screw you glassdoor and screw you tableau.
That's terrible - you have a cs degree, right?
No I don't but that had nothing to do with my pay. I haven't been asked whether I have a degree as part of an interview process even once in my career. it was solely due to my own ignorance of the market and their willingness to take advantage of it.
I prefer Blind. Testimonials, salary reporting etc. feels candid and authentic - I feel like numbers and testimonials on Glassdoor aren't completely honest in some way.
Glassdoor doesn't accurately show rsu part of compensation. Glassdoor is usually not good for compensation information about higher engineering levels.
This one is a difficult problem to solve.
Start an anonymous forum for employees? ;)

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
I use both. Blind pretty much every day, glassdoor a handful of times a year. Both very useful and insightful in different ways. If I had to live with one, it would be Blind.
Glassdoor is good for interview questions etc.
