Agree with Tom. Are people really honest if the email is connected to the post? I like salarylist.com http://www.salarylist.com which has millions of real jobs salary data. And it looks like from official source, so the data is more authentic.

I am sure there are a ton of others in the same space. A simple websearch revealed another one. www.8hours.com. I dont get it ... is every large corporation really that different ? After a while they are all the same.

i really like glassdoor. i'm a university student and at my school we use www.studentsninetofive.com. a lot of the same companies are on this site as well

How about Jobs-Salary.com? Much more salary information there about Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and other companies there.

I started to fill out a review, then when it came time to submit, I was required to provide a valid email address. Hmmm, do I really want to associate an anonymous review with my email? Sure, they say it will never be displayed, but the fact remains, there is now a link between my review and my email. When I fill out these surveys for my employers, there are *truly* anonymous-- there is no way for a particular review to be linked back to me under any circumstance. Glassdoor will need truly anonymous reviews before I submit my own. I will gladly read the reviews of others...

I am surprised something like Epinions for companies took so long to pop up, I blogged about it recently at http://paidinterviews.com/blog/ , feel free to check it out.

Who cares what employees think of their CEO? Does that make a job good or bad? I don't think so.

Horribly slow buggy site that throws the error "Bummer. I guess this Glassdoor is broken for now." every time you click on something. Pretty solid example of how NOT to launch your site. Bummer indeed.
