  4. [R11] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Constantly crashes: Looking for work. This app crashes constantly. Three times in the last hour, leading to this review. Server jobs - 2 that are 22 miles away and have been posted for more than 30 days. I visited the restaurants; neither are hiring and don't know why the ads are there. App information is outdated and depressing.
  5. [R1] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Sold out: Glass door has sold out the employees that expect honesty from fellow employees by allowing companies to delete negative reviews essentially turning a pier reviewed platform into another app shilling our data for corporate reputation washing.
  6. [R13] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US App has become near unusable: Stop forcing the AI garbage. It’s a pain to search for companies and review salaries now.
  7. [R15] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US N/A: I like Glassdoor for the jobs that are in need of workers. How many employers use Glassdoor? The most important about the rating given, is that there are too many other comments of what others day, what they think, how they handled a situation… etc Shouldn’t there just be job listings and not what seems like a chat station?
  8. [R22] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US They delete bad reviews: Companies can pay to have bad reviews deleted. Completely dishonest
  9. [R4] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US AI has ruined the app: New AI update has made the app unusable for me. Terrible and not at all user friendly.
  10. [R9] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US Difficult navigation between apps: Glassdoor is difficult to navigate back-and-forth between apps. I have lost my information twice in the application process, merely by toggling to my personal information to copy and paste to Glassdoor. When I toggle back to Glassdoor, all my application information is lost.
  11. [R18] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US A little glitchy: When I originally joined Glassdoor I loved it but now the system seems a little glitchy and doesn’t provide nearly as much information as it did nearly a decade ago.
  12. [R16] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Cant sign in on app: cloudflare is stuck in endless sign in loop -- updating few months later - still cant log in on the horrible app
  13. [R27] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US Can’t figure it out: Can’t upload resume
  14. [R57] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Scrubs reviews: If you leave honest reviews of companies on site, they are erased by mods without cause. Beware taking advice
  15. [R59] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Not worth it: Why does this app require my phone number? This app is a nice idea but it’s a nonessential part of my life. Making it more invasive to even use means that I don’t really need to use it at all and won’t be missing anything.
  16. [R62] LinkedIn 5/5 · US Stronger connection.: If you feel your gift is dying try LinkedIn, a few connection will reassure you of bring your gift back to life. Is not just connection is a place of hope when your talent is clear.
  17. [R71] LinkedIn 5/5 · US MONSTER: ADVICE: About Career And Life. WHICH: Is My Version of What LINKED IN Is. · translated
  18. [R83] LinkedIn 5/5 · US Founder: LinkedIn keeps me connected to my people. It is important to be a part of our community here to assist each other and support one another.
  19. [R21] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US Changes for the worse: I use this app frequently, and recent changes just make it harder to use. It seems like every update requires me to tap more places to get to the same functionality. If I click Companies, I want to go directly to a search for companies. Now it takes me to an AI tab, then I have to scroll over and switch to Companies to search. Same with company reviews; now I need to tap on
  20. [R28] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US unusable: get rid of the ai.
  21. [R63] LinkedIn 3/5 · US Cannot Access Certain Features Unless You Pay: I can no longer extensively browse people through search because I have to pay in order to look at more than 5 people but I can't afford to pay for the monthly or yearly membership as it's ridiculously priced. I understand how Premium makes sense for the job application process but everyone should have unlimited access to the search capabilities.
  22. [R64] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Once I paid, it crashes every time I open it: Once I upgraded to premium. Every time I open the app on my iPad it prompts me for an update. And doesn't allow me to do anything. I click update. Which brings up the App Store. Asking me to open the app. And it starts all over again, prompting me for the update. I've deleted the app. Reinstalled the app. I can do nothing on LinkedIn. Because all I get
  23. [R91] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Bad app: Too expensive and doesn’t work even when you pay.
  24. [R93] LinkedIn 3/5 · US Lost my Premium membership: I just paid $42 with taxes for a monthly premium subscription on June 12, 2026 and should have premium until July 12th but for some reason my premium subscription is gone from my account on LinkedIn but it still shows as active in my subscriptions on my phone. That’s a lot of money for a subscription for it just to disappear.
  25. [R61] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Not a robot: I haven’t logged in to LinkedIn in years. Trying to login seems impossible. The “not a robot” prompts are apparently too difficult for me to understand. Mark all boxes with busses. If a bus bleeds over to another square does that count as a square? Tried both ways and still I fail it. Try the audio version. Am I supposed to put spaces between the words? Try both ways and still fail. H
  26. [R67] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Problematic & Evasive: Sign in process can be outlandishly time consuming and ID requirements can be shockingly invasive.
  27. [R70] LinkedIn 1/5 · US CANT SIGN IN: It won’t let me sign in. I’m being led in circles. To approve a sign in, I have to “follow steps in your LinkedIn app” well I can’t. I’m trying to sign into the app. To sign in it says it will send an email to verify myself, in that email, it says “We noticed you recently tried to sign in to your Linkedin account from a new device. You can finish signing in to your LinkedIn account b
  28. [R73] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Janky barely works: The app barely works. Spent 10 mins on one recaptch only to find out it was stuck in a loop
