"The site allows employees of any company to anonymously post comments about their work environment, share salary information, and even rate the C.E.O."
/In the excellent February issue of Portfolio (which includes the Tiger Woods design profile and several other great reads...or maybe I was just in fine spirits because I was reading a magazine at the beach...in January...in North America!), Kevin Maney explores the state of Silicon Valley venture capital and writes about Glassdoor.com.
In a twisted way, when the economy tanks, conditions in Silicon Valley and other tech communities actually become more advantageous for starting and building companies. Look at the fresh-baked startup Glassdoor, a sort of TripAdvisor for job seekers. Launched in June, the site allows employees of any company to anonymously post comments about their work environment, share salary information, and even rate the C.E.O.
Naturally I raced home...well, after the sun set because it was 80 at dusk...oh sorry, back to my point. I raced home to check out some of my favorite organizations at Glassdoor: the USGA and the PGA Tour. Shockingly, the staff has not been doing their due dilligence in posting salaries, work environment or their ratings for the executive ranks.
Let's get on this people. Chop, chop! That's Glassdoor.com in case you forgot.
