The job search is never easy. You can spend hours scouring ads, trying to figure out which companies are worth your time and energy — and which aren’t. And you can spend just as much time trying to understand how employees feel about their companies, only to see that they’re vague or even misleading. Fortunately, there are a number of sites where people write candidly about their employers reviews and work environments. Below I’ve listed some of my favorites:
Reviewia
Reviewia is a platform where companies and employees can get reviews from other employees.
If you are looking for the best company to work for, then this website can help you find out which companies have good reviews on the internet.
The website is also useful if you want to see how other people feel about working at a certain company before applying there yourself.
Glassdoor
Glassdoor is a platform where employees and job seekers can anonymously review their companies, interview questions, salaries, culture and more. The reviews are written by people who have been through the hiring process at that company.
