Remember The Vault? It was the Web 1.0 version of a message board for reviewing companies. It seemed cool at the time — wow, look at all the messages talking about not-so-stellar management. But like all sites, it’s pretty much a shadow of it’s former self, mainly because it wasn’t very sticky.
Enter GlassDoor, the new entry into the “review your company” sweepstakes. It has a bunch of me too features, but the site is much easier to use (sooner or later they’ll have to add advertising), and there are a bunch of contextual searches.
The most intriguing feature is the salary ranges for each company. Boy, that’s going to make some companies uneasy.
