July’s Review of the Month
Whenever I mention to people that I work at Glassdoor, there are a few questions that always come up:
- How do you know these people actually work at the company?
- Do people really care enough to write about their work?
Well… I think in its own way our “Review of the Month” answers both these questions. This month’s $500 prize goes to a software engineer from Accenture who has provided one of the most detailed reviews I have seen to date. As the headline for the winning review states – “You have to be in it to understand it” – who else but an employee would have this level of insight into the good and bad of a workplace? And more importantly, is there any doubt that this employee cares about work? After all, work is one of the most important parts of our lives and those that recognize its importance want to make sure everyone has the information they need to make the right decision .
If you take the time to read through this review you’ll see this member cares not only about their work, but about helping others make the right choices. So we thank this months’ winner for taking the time to offer our community this detailed, balanced, and organized look into Accenture - you have to love consultants!
And I might add now that you have the ability to flag a review as helpful, we’re going to be looking to you, our community, to help us find our winning reviews. The reviews with the most ‘helpful’ votes will be the ones with the best chance for this monthly accolade. So get to work - tell us what reviews help you!

I have just discovered Glass Door and think it is a wonderful. I am all for more transparency and the collective views of the market being available publicly about organizations, be that glowing testaments or perhaps not so much.
We have recently launched a niche job site, Six Figures, http://www.sixfigures.com.au in Australia which like Glass Door provides job seekers with more transparency and more information about the job and the leadership team at the organization.
Today’s job seeker is more likened to a consumer and wants to know upfront a lot more, which is where a site like Glass Door offers immense value. Just as consumers can read ratings and posts about others consumers experiences with products and services, it only makes sense that this extends to jobs. The average person looks at the comments and ratings and generally they gain a feeling of the overall view and experiences by those consumers of that particular products or service and make their decision accordingly. We don’t tend to question the authenticity of these of question is they have actually used the product or service.
Information is empowering, and in today’s market job seekers are increasingly more empowered, which for some organizations is hard to comprehend.
