Really? Because Blind seems like a much better Glassdoor if your goal is to understand what it’s actually like inside a company.

Blind requires you to have a company email in order to even participate, meaning if you left the company, you no longer can sign up for Blind. So if you want to review a company, how would you?

Blind also targets having communities for people inside companies to talk, and facilitating discussion. Glassdoor is mainly about reviewing companies.

If I want to know if a company is toxic, Blind is a lot more useful than Glassdoor. People will speak the truth while they’re at the company.

Will they? If I had something very negative to say I'd fear getting fired while working at the company, but will have no such fear after I leave.

A site that requires your company email before you can post a negative review sounds like a honeypot.

A manager on my old company's blind (they never revalidate your email apparently) just posted the other day how the CEO asked the managers 'who in their team would you not hire today'. They took that list and fired all of them.

I imagine HR would absolutely love to take that down.

So have up to a year after you leave the company I believe.

Only a small number of very large companies.
