Whenever I’m looking at a new role, I always end up deep in the Glassdoor reviews—sometimes they confirm a gut feeling, other times they totally surprise me. Do you rely on them when considering a move? Have they ever changed your mind?

I rely on this community 100%; Glassdoor has saved me so many times. Great insights, tips, and reviews that have earned my trust. I always use the community to find out everything I can about the job, company, and culture.

The amount of tips and tricks is honestly so great, it’s defo something people don’t think about either!

I do the exact same thing. Glassdoor reviews have made me walk away from jobs I thought were perfect on paper. Sometimes you spot patterns in the comments that tell you everything you need to know.

At first I did worry that people only post bad reviews on Glassdoor but I feel like it’s such a useful place to really sense what a company is like

For sure. Usually before sending my CV or completing the long application form. It has stopped me from sending my details to 'ghost' companies or businesses that never seem to actually hire. Obviously, some of are disgrunted ex employees but numerous bad reviews obviously have a point.

Absolutely agree, can be useful to at least pick up the vibe of a company

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
