Glassdoor
Workplace transparency site
Glassdoor is a website where employees anonymously review companies, share salary information, and report interview experiences.
Job seekers use it to research workplace culture and compensation before applying: I checked Glassdoor before my interview.
The name suggests transparency—a glass door you can see through, versus the opacity of traditional hiring.
