Why won t Glassdoor let me look at reviews?

The only reason you can't view them is that Glassdoor wants to be the first place people go to read them.

Glassdoor's mission is to be the place where people go to find out what their employees think of them. In the course of working with dozens of companies over the past few years, I've seen this mission come up over and over again. In every case, companies are trying to get a sense of what their employees think about them, so they can improve or respond to their reviews.

In many cases, it seems to make sense to go to Glassdoor first, before taking other routes. What better way to find out what your company is really like than to read real employee reviews? But it turns out that Glassdoor's mission has a pretty high cost to pay.

At first, it seemed like this wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Glassdoor is a relatively small company. Why not just buy some reviews and put them on the site? As it turned out, there was a huge reason why: The cost of buying reviews.

When you look at the reviews that Glassdoor offers, it becomes pretty clear that they're expensive. For example, let's take a look at the reviews for my company, HubSpot. Here's how it looks:

It looks like Glassdoor has about 3,000 reviews for HubSpot. Of those reviews, 1,000 or so are by employees, while the rest are anonymous.

It's not hard to see why Glassdoor wants to be the first place people go to read reviews. They don't want to be the only ones. There's already lots of places where people read reviews. If they want to be the first place people go to read reviews, they have to be cheap.

You may be thinking: Well, of course, they are cheap. They're selling a product! That is true. And Glassdoor has been cheap. They've been able to stay cheap because of their massive size. It turns out that scale has a huge impact on how cheap they can be.
