  1. [R6] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US Ghosting: Way too many ghost jobs/companies
  2. [R7] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 2/5 · US Meh: Suggests 30+ day jobs that aren’t applicable to me
  3. [R8] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Driver: I am getting plenty of job listings. I hope it pans out to be new work for me.
  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 App information is outdated and depressing.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. [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.
  6. [R5] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Easy process: V
  7. [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.
  8. [R12] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US A BIT REPATIVE: I changed in my setting to stop receiving emails because I am working. But I still get emails. Still get repetitive emails of the same job posting. Granted I get daily emails, but I continue to get emails for the same jobs I have applied for and I get those jobs that are not in my line of work.
  9. [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
  10. [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.
  11. [R27] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US Can’t figure it out: Can’t upload resume
  12. [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.
  13. [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?
  14. [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
  15. [R22] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US They delete bad reviews: Companies can pay to have bad reviews deleted. Completely dishonest
  16. [R33] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · GB Needs work: Why the difficulty in deleting an account? Why not instant like any other place? Why am I posting as my own name? No anonymity?
  17. [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.
  18. [R64] Indeed Job Search 1/5 · US - Honest review: In my four years of using indeed, I have applied for over fifty eight jobs and haven’t heard back from a single one, I recommend ZipRecruiter I have found two jobs in only a month of looking. Indeed is trash don’t waste your time and don’t give them your data to collect.
  19. [R25] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Low paying jobs: Jobs on Glassdoor are much lower paying than those I find elsewhere
  20. [R77] Indeed Job Search 5/5 · US Indeed job: I love indeed job I’ve been getting jobs back to back some of them are slow to check you but you do have to be patient here .
  21. [R83] Indeed Job Search 5/5 · US Experience: All the employment have been easy to find and easy to be contacted
  22. [R110] Indeed Job Search 5/5 · US Only Low end entry level jobs: This app is not good for high paying executive jobs.
  23. [R69] Indeed Job Search 3/5 · US Pretty good app: I like the app and the fact you can see reviews,Q&A, ect,. But I do not like that some of these jobs are scams.
  24. [R79] Indeed Job Search 1/5 · US Doesn’t give the right job: Will give you a job from the web but that job doesn’t actually exist
  25. [R34] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Unable to log in: I’ve tried logging in on both the website and app using both Google and manually entering my email and it still won’t let me log in. App is unusable.
  26. [R37] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Can't even login??: And yes I updated. It just spins and nothing happens :((((
