The best way to find out about a workplace is by talking to its employees but in the pre internet days it was harder to do this but now all these information are just a click away, welcome to the world of Glassdoor.com.
This new social networking site allows potential workers to find out about the company,employee opinions on salaries and also find out about the bosses and culture in one place.Though review sites aren't necessarily new, sites specifically aimed at sharing workplace information are and they're indicative of the changing way that employees interact with each other, their companies and their employers.
But what are the ramifications? Do sites like GlassDoor empower employees to make better decisions on where to work? Do they force companies to be more open? Or do they open the way for suspicion, abuse, legal trouble and/or termination?Tech experts say it's a natural outgrowth of the social networking revolution, and a positive step toward holding companies accountable for the workplaces they create because transparency is the way the world is moving now.
Big companies like HP and Micron emloyees also take part in this social networking site commenting about their salaries and alsoabout the work environment and currently HP has the most number of reviews and comments on Glassdoor.com.
