Keep it comin’….

Posted on June 13, 2008 by roberthohman

Growth has been phenomenal - when we launched, we had coverage on 250 companies with about 3,300 reviews.

As of this morning, we have:

  • 32,000 reviews…
  • Covering 6,679 companies…
  • Representing 84 countries around the world…
  • With people in more than 165 countries visiting glassdoor.com

When we launched, we made a commitment to inspect every single review by hand - and we’re doing exactly that.  In fact, we’ve found that we’re rejecting 1 or 2 out of every 10 reviews because they violate our community guidelines in some way, are clearly bogus, or are someone trying to post duplicates, etc.

As we had hoped, the community is helping us to keep content accurate.  We accidentally let an intern’s salary flow into Apple’s fulltime salary chart, and someone caught it and emailed us in under 3 minutes!  Needless to say we fixed it in the next 60 seconds.  If you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to flag it to us at content@glassdoor.com and we will investigate.  (and we will have easier flagging tools in the near future on the site)

If you’ve posted a review and haven’t seen it on the site, know that we are working furiously to get content approved.  To be honest, we’re a bit buried under this PR avalanche, but we’ve got more content reviewers coming online and expect that we will be caught up by the weekend.

Thanks again for all of the interest, keep the feedback coming, and tell your friends to contribute - with everyone’s help, we’re going to provide a window into this incredibly important part of our life.

    When will you provide access for those of us outside the US? I’d love to enter my own details but the website doesn’t allow non-US addresses.

    @Xerxes - Tim A from Glassdoor here…

    We’re committed to making Glassdoor.com available for our friends outside the US, and we’re already working on improving our support for international cities.

    At the moment we support the largest cities in many countries just by typing “city name (country)” as in “Paris (France)” - but there’s still room for improvement and still room to support even more countries. We should have a few improvements available soon.
