The site also allows for in-depth anonymous reviews from company employees, verifyable in authenticity according to Glassdoor.com through methods they will not disclose. The reviewes are also used to generate charts to compare the approval rating of executives across the large companies.

Microsoft is averaging a rating of 4 out of 5 with over 100 mixed reviews: “The best place in the world for a software developer to work in,” “A challenging, rewarding environment with great benefits,” “Post-BillG Microsoft is great employment – for HR and Lawyers.”

Similary, Google is averaging a rating of 4.1 with reviews ranging from the very positive – “Still the best experience of my life” – where people praise the way anyone’s idea could be the next big thing, or the rewards given to all excelling employees, to the very negative: “Google: An Elitist’s Playground” where multiple reviewers called Google an environment with lack of privacy and an atmosphere where everyone is expected to act “googly” or otherwise become the 5th wheel of the group.

The $3 million startup website gathering all the information is available at Glassdoor.com.
