Notorious b.s.d. posted:no that's still quite polite. the cruel and nasty thing to do is to never send the rejection. i don't think i'm going to bother, but to me once you've tried to position yourself as doing more than the bare minimum, I'm going to judge you more harshly than if you had just gone silent. does that make me crazy? possibly.

Post at your own risk! post away IMO companies you're applying to aren't about to dig through glass door and try to de-anonymize posts; that's ridiculous. even outspoken drama-trolls like michael o church had to relentlessly make absurd and self-aggrandizing complaints about like 3 companies in a row over a span of years (getting banned from hacker news in the process) before he finally made himself famous enough to be radioactive Emacs Headroom fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jan 14, 2018 |

anyway, don’t do homework assignments that are real work. it should be something that shows your skill but also something obviously worthless or that has already been solved. don’t do any homework assignments that take more than an hour. two tops if you’re *really* interested.

Lol. this times a million. nobody gives a poo poo about you or your snarky takedown of the product culture at pointless seed-round start up xyz on glassdoor hr are more worried about being fired tomorrow since they're first to go if funding is an issue (maybe second if theres a sales or marketing team), or they're putting out some sexual harassment fire. they look at glass door, but they're not gonna remember who you are 2 days after you leave, make that 2 minutes if you've been rejected for a job. unless you post something vitriolic with your name on it on medium, and it gets traction, they will have no clue who you are and won't care. anyone that does care (maybe obsessed founder?) is obviously so devoid of work or meaning that they are on a trajectory to obscure failure, so there's no reason to give them a second thought if you don't want to write something up, don't, we don't give a poo poo either. but it's paranoid and delusional to think it's gonna get back to you

The whole point of glassdoor is to identify the good companies from the cowboys, and it's really useful in that regard. It's useless if nobody ever posts negative critique because they are scared some HR type is going to go all Sherlock on their post. If you don't want to post then don't, who cares. It's nice to let the general public know who are the cunts and who aren't though.

Glassdoor salary ranges skew low and yes they are mostly written by dummies but that’s because most people are dummies. a review by someone who is obviously not incompetent can be helpful. lol at being afraid of posting something on Glassdoor. recruiters and HR don’t give a poo poo about you. they care about filling roles. they see thousands of people every week and they forget about you as soon as their business with you is over. nobody is trolling Glassdoor reviews and matching it up against someone guy they saw a month ago or a former employee, and then keeping tabs on that person so they can gently caress them over in a future role. don’t be paranoid.
