Mojolin is self-funded How we score
Glassdoor is our top pick because it gathers anonymous reviews, salary reports and open jobs on the same company page, free. Indeed Company Reviews ranks second on sheer volume, with more than 700 million ratings and reviews and 1.1 billion salaries, and is often the better source for hourly and frontline employers. Blind is the strongest inside view at large tech and finance companies, Levels.fyi is the place to check total compensation by level, and Comparably adds ratings by department and for the CEO. InHerSight helps women compare leave, flexibility and advancement, and Great Place To Work and Vault are best used to build a shortlist before you read reviews.

Glassdoor
Anonymous employee reviews, ratings, salaries and job listings for researching an employer before you apply.
glassdoor.com9.2
out of 10
Best for: Most job seekers who want reviews, pay data and open roles for the same employer in one place
Glassdoor is the site most people mean when they say company reviews, and its pages are built for exactly the research a job seeker does before applying. Each employer page collects anonymous reviews and ratings from employees on culture, compensation, leadership and work-life balance, and puts salary reports and open jobs for that company next to them. The salary section covers roles from entry level to C-suite, which helps you judge whether an offer is fair before you negotiate. Glassdoor also runs anonymous communities where workers talk about employers and industries, and its app builds job matches from the goals, manager style and culture you say you want. The main friction is access: Glassdoor asks visitors to sign in, and often to contribute a review or salary, before showing pages in full. Treat scores at small companies with care, because a handful of reviews can swing the average. For most employers, though, no other free site gathers as much in one place.
Standout feature
Glassdoor is the best choice for most job seekers because it shows reviews on culture, compensation, leadership and work-life balance next to salaries and open jobs for the same employer.
Use cases
Job seekers with an interview booked
Read recent reviews and leadership ratings for the employer
Outcome: Informed questions to ask the hiring manager
Candidates holding an offer
Compare the offer with salary reports for the same role
Outcome: A number to anchor a negotiation
Key features
- Company reviews and ratings covering culture, compensation, leadership and work-life balance
- Salary data from entry level to C-suite, searchable by position
- Job search across millions of active listings with filters for title, company, location and workstyle
- Anonymous Glassdoor communities for talking about employers, industries and interests
- Personalized job matches built from your stated goals, ideal manager and preferred culture
Pros
- Free for job seekers on the web and in the iOS and Android apps
- Reviews, salaries and jobs for an employer sit on the same company page
- Anonymous posting lets current employees speak about leadership and pay
Cons
- You are asked to sign in or contribute before reading many pages in full
- Reviews are self-reported and anonymous, so one bad team can skew a small employer's score
- Job listings and employer ads share space with the research content
Rank 2 · Runner-up
Indeed Company Reviews
Company ratings and reviews built into Indeed's job search, with salary data by title, company and location.
indeed.com9.1
out of 10
Best for: Hourly, retail and frontline job seekers who already apply through Indeed
Indeed Company Reviews is the research side of the largest general job site, and its size is the reason to use it. Indeed says it holds more than 700 million company ratings and reviews and more than 1.1 billion salaries that you can search by job title, company and location. That depth matters most for hourly, retail, warehouse and healthcare roles, where many employers have far more reviews on Indeed than anywhere else. Because the reviews live inside the job search, you can read what employees say about a store or site and then apply with your saved resume in the same session, and Indeed tracks the application and tells you when an employer has read it. The reviews are shorter and less discussion-driven than on Glassdoor or Blind, so you get a broad signal rather than detail on a specific team. Use it as the second opinion on any employer, and as the first stop for frontline jobs.
Standout feature
Indeed reports more than 700 million company ratings and reviews and 1.1 billion salaries, free to every job seeker.
Use cases
Retail and warehouse workers
Compare reviews of nearby locations before applying
Outcome: Applications sent only to employers with good scores
Nurses and caregivers
Check pay by title and city
Outcome: A realistic pay range for the next role
Key features
- More than 700 million company ratings and reviews
- More than 1.1 billion salaries searchable by job title, company and location
- Reviews shown alongside job listings in the same search
- Saved resume and application tracking with notices when an employer responds
- Filters for remote, part-time, side, freelance and government jobs
Pros
- Free, with no paid tier needed to read reviews or apply
- Very large review and salary pool across hourly and salaried work
- You can check an employer and apply without leaving the app
Cons
- Review pages are lighter on anonymous discussion than Glassdoor or Blind
- Reviews sit inside a job site, so sponsored listings compete for attention
- Less useful for niche tech compensation than Levels.fyi
Rank 3 · Also great
Blind
An anonymous network of verified professionals discussing layoffs, pay, reviews and company news.
teamblind.com8.5
out of 10
Best for: Tech and finance professionals who want unfiltered insider talk about a specific employer
Blind is where employees at large tech and finance companies talk about their employer when they do not want their name attached. The company says more than 12 million verified professionals use it, and verification by work email, LinkedIn or work history is kept separate from what you post. For a job seeker, that verification is the value: when someone flags a reorganization, a hiring freeze or a return-to-office mandate, you know the account was confirmed at a real company. Blind also has structured company reviews and ratings, salary data by role, location and experience, and threads on interviews, offers and referrals. Signing up with a personal email gives read-only access to public channels, which is enough for most research. The trade-off is noise: popular feeds carry off-topic and crude posts, and coverage thins out quickly outside big tech, finance and consulting. An optional Clean Feed subscription removes ads and hides keywords you choose.
Standout feature
Blind verifies members by work email, LinkedIn or work history, so inside comments on layoffs and teams come from confirmed employees.
Use cases
Software engineers weighing two offers
Ask verified employees about team culture and layoff risk
Outcome: Inside context that review scores do not show
Bankers and consultants
Follow threads on bonuses and reorganizations at target firms
Outcome: Early warning before accepting an offer
Key features
- More than 12 million verified members, according to Blind
- Verification by work email, LinkedIn or work history, kept separate from your posts
- Anonymous company reviews and ratings from verified employees
- Salary data by role, company, location and experience
- Channels on layoffs, reorganizations, return-to-office and offers
Pros
- Members verify where they work, which adds weight to inside comments
- Real-time threads on layoffs and reorganizations that review sites miss
- Free to read and post; personal email gives read-only access to public channels
Cons
- Feeds mix career talk with off-topic and crude threads
- Coverage is strongest at large tech and finance employers
- Blind cannot recover forgotten passwords, so a lost login means a new account
Rank 4
Levels.fyi
Verified compensation data by company and level, with communities and coaches for career questions.
levels.fyi8.4
out of 10
Best for: Tech job seekers comparing total compensation and levels across employers
Levels.fyi answers the question most company review sites only touch on: what does this employer actually pay at my level. Its salary submissions break total compensation into base salary, bonus and equity such as RSUs, which matters at tech companies where stock can be a large share of pay. Data is grouped by company and level, so you can see how one firm's senior engineer compares with another's before an interview. The Levels.fyi app adds communities of verified professionals and a team of coaches, including recruiters from large tech companies, who answer questions in the forum. That gives you some inside view of companies, though Levels.fyi does not offer the volume of written culture reviews that Glassdoor or Indeed carry. It is also narrow: coverage centers on tech, product and finance roles, so hourly or public-sector job seekers will find little. Use it next to a review site, not instead of one, when pay is the deciding factor.
Standout feature
Levels.fyi breaks pay into salary, bonus and equity by company level, which no general review site does as clearly.
Use cases
Engineers changing employers
Map a current level to the equivalent at a target company
Outcome: A target level and pay band for the interview loop
New graduates
Compare equity grants across offers
Outcome: A clear view of first-year total compensation
Key features
- Live salary submissions from professionals at startups and large companies
- Total compensation broken down into salary, bonus and equity such as RSUs
- Communities of verified professionals for company questions
- Team of coaches, including recruiters, answering questions in the forum
- Free iOS app alongside the website
Pros
- Equity and bonus are shown separately, not just base salary
- Free to browse compensation data
- Data is organized by company level, which makes cross-company comparison easier
Cons
- Focused on tech and finance roles, with little for hourly work
- Fewer written culture reviews than Glassdoor or Indeed
- Company insight comes from forum threads rather than structured review scores
Rank 5
Comparably
Anonymous employee ratings of leadership, compensation, team, environment and outlook, plus salaries and annual awards.
comparably.com8.3
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers who want culture ratings broken down by department and CEO
Comparably takes a more structured approach to company reviews than Glassdoor. Employees rate their company anonymously on leadership, compensation, team, environment and outlook, and the site breaks those ratings down by department, so you can see whether engineering and sales feel differently about the same employer. Separate rankings cover top-rated CEOs, companies rated well by women and by diverse employees, and eNPS. Comparably publishes annual awards from those ratings; its Best Leadership Teams 2026 study is the ninth annual list built from anonymous ratings of CEOs, executives and direct managers. Salary pages, an equity calculator and employee Q&A round out the research tools. Two caveats apply. Comparably earns money by selling employer branding and recruitment marketing to companies, so read award badges as one signal among several. And review volume per company is smaller than on Glassdoor or Indeed, which makes scores at mid-size employers less stable. Use it to compare departments and leadership.
Standout feature
Comparably shows employee ratings by department and for the CEO, so you can judge the team you would join, not just the company.
Use cases
Sales and marketing candidates
Compare their department's rating with the company average
Outcome: A view of the team they would join
Job seekers screening leadership
Check CEO and executive team ratings
Outcome: A shortlist of employers with well-rated leaders
Key features
- Ratings by department on leadership, compensation, team, environment and outlook
- Top-rated lists for CEOs, women, diverse employees and eNPS
- Salary data by company, city and highest-paying jobs, plus an equity calculator
- Annual Best Places to Work awards based on employee ratings
- Employee Q&A on company pages
Pros
- Department-level ratings show differences between teams
- CEO and executive team ratings come from anonymous employees
- Award lists such as Best Leadership Teams are free to browse
Cons
- Comparably also sells employer branding and recruitment marketing to companies
- Fewer reviews per company than Glassdoor or Indeed
- Some award pages on the site are a year or more old
Rank 6
InHerSight
Company ratings designed around what women want to know about employers, with job matches and career advice.
inhersight.com8.2
out of 10
Best for: Women researching pay satisfaction, flexibility and leadership opportunities at employers
InHerSight is a company review site built around the questions women most often ask about an employer. Instead of one star rating, employees score companies on categories such as paid time off, salary satisfaction, flexible work hours, ability to telecommute, equal opportunities for women and men, women in leadership, sponsorship or mentorship and family growth support. You can browse best-company lists by overall score, by a single category, or by industry, state, city and company size, and InHerSight publishes a list of the 50 best companies to work for as rated by the women who work there. The site also matches you to jobs and runs career advice articles and polls. InHerSight says its network is made up of 1 million working women, almost exclusively in the US, so ratings are thinner than Glassdoor's and many smaller employers have none. Employers can claim pages and promote their culture and jobs, so separate paid content from ratings when you read.
Standout feature
InHerSight scores employers on categories such as paid time off, flexible hours and women in leadership instead of one overall star rating.
Use cases
Working parents
Compare employers on paid time off and family growth support
Outcome: A shortlist of family-friendly employers
Women aiming for management
Filter companies by women in leadership and mentorship scores
Outcome: Employers with a record of promoting women
Key features
- Ratings on paid time off, salary satisfaction, flexible hours, telecommuting and women in leadership
- Further categories such as sponsorship or mentorship, family growth support and sense of belonging
- Lists of best companies by score, review category, industry, state, city and size
- Job matching based on what you want from an employer
- Career advice articles and polls
Pros
- Rating categories focus on flexibility, leave and equal opportunity
- Best-company lists can be filtered by state, city and company size
- InHerSight says 9 of 10 women find its ratings help career decisions
Cons
- Network is about 1 million women, almost all in the US
- Many smaller employers have few or no ratings
- Employers can claim pages and pay to promote culture and jobs
Rank 7
Great Place To Work
Survey-based Best Workplaces lists, including the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, built from confidential employee feedback.
greatplacetowork.com8.0
out of 10
Best for: Job seekers building a shortlist of well-rated employers in an industry or region
Great Place To Work is not a review site in the Glassdoor sense, but its lists answer the same question from another angle. Each year it publishes more than 20 Best Workplaces lists with Fortune, including the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For and lists by industry, region, company size and demographic, such as Best Workplaces for Women, published on October 28, 2026. Rankings come from the Trust Index survey, which asks employees confidentially about trust in management, connection with colleagues and loyalty. For the 2026 100 Best, Great Place To Work says it surveyed companies employing more than 7.3 million people in the US and received more than 1.3 million responses, nearly 640,000 of them from eligible companies. The limit is coverage: only employers that go through Certification are ranked, so a company's absence tells you nothing. There are no individual written reviews either. Use the lists to build a shortlist, then read Glassdoor or Indeed reviews for detail.
Standout feature
Great Place To Work ranks employers from confidential employee surveys, with more than 1.3 million US responses in the last year.
Use cases
Job seekers in health care or retail
Browse the 2026 industry lists for employers near them

- 20+ Best Workplaces lists each year by industry, region, size and demographic
- Rankings based on the confidential Trust Index employee survey

- Lists by industry and city make it easy to find employers near you
Cons
- Only companies that take part in Certification appear, so many good employers are missing
- No individual written reviews to read
- Fortune 100 Best requires 1,000 or more US employees, which excludes small firms
Rank 8
Fishbowl
A professional network of verified members talking in industry, community and company groups called bowls.
fishbowlapp.com7.8
out of 10
Best for: Consulting, accounting, law and marketing professionals who want to ask insiders about a firm
Fishbowl is a conversation network rather than a review database, but it is useful when you want to ask people at a specific firm what working there is like. Verified professionals join thousands of bowls, the app's word for groups, organized by industry, community or company. The app names members from firms such as McKinsey, Deloitte, BCG, Accenture, EY, PwC, Goldman Sachs and Mount Sinai, and its strongest communities are in consulting, advertising, accounting, finance, law, healthcare and education. A live feed shows what people in your profession are discussing, and networking mode lets you direct message members and ask about jobs and referrals. Joining requires a LinkedIn account or a work email. The limits are clear: there are no star ratings, no salary database of the kind Glassdoor runs, and you need to ask good questions to get useful answers. Use it to follow up on what you read on a review site, especially for professional services firms.
Standout feature
Fishbowl lets you ask verified professionals at a firm directly through company and industry bowls.
Use cases
Consulting candidates
Ask a firm's bowl about hours and staffing
Outcome: First-hand answers before a case interview
Accountants switching firms
Network with members and ask for referrals
Outcome: A warm introduction to a hiring team
Key features
- Thousands of industry, community and company bowls (groups)
- Verified professionals; a LinkedIn account or work email is required
- Live feed for your industry and profession
- Networking mode with direct messages
- Job discovery and referrals through networking
Pros
- Company bowls let you ask employees directly about a firm
- Strong presence in consulting, advertising, accounting, finance, law, healthcare and education
- Free to join and use
Cons
- No structured star ratings or review scores
- Requires a LinkedIn account or work email to join
- Smaller audience than the big review sites: 23K App Store ratings against 792K for Glassdoor
Rank 9
Vault
Employee-survey rankings of employers and internships, with industry guides and virtual career fairs.
vault.com7.6
out of 10
Best for: Students and early-career candidates targeting consulting, banking, accounting and law
Vault has long been a reference for students and early-career candidates aiming at consulting, banking, accounting and law firms. Its rankings cover companies by profession and industry, and its internship rankings, now in the 2027 edition, compare programs at employers such as Infosys, The Home Depot and CVS Health. Vault Guides explain how industries work and what roles involve, Vault Law focuses on legal employers, and Vault runs virtual fairs where candidates meet employers and graduate schools. Rankings draw on Vault's own surveys, which you can take part in through the site. Signing up is free. Compared with Glassdoor or Indeed, Vault offers fewer individual written reviews and thin coverage of hourly or small employers, and much of its content targets students and career centers. If you are choosing between Big Four firms, investment banks or law firms, it adds structured rankings that general review sites do not publish. For everyone else, it is a supplement rather than a main source.
Standout feature
Vault publishes company and internship rankings for consulting, banking, accounting and law, free to job seekers.
Use cases
College juniors
Compare internship programs using Vault's internship rankings
Outcome: A ranked list of programs to apply to

- Much of the site is aimed at students and schools
Frequently asked questions
+What is the best site for company reviews?

Indeed Company Reviews is the best second source, with more than 700 million company ratings and reviews.
+Which site is best for company reviews in tech?
Blind is the best company review site for tech, because its posts come from more than 12 million members verified by work email, LinkedIn or work history. Pair it with Levels.fyi, which breaks pay into salary, bonus and equity by company level.
