Context

What to Compare

Employee satisfaction:

  • Overall Glassdoor rating and review count for each company
  • Category ratings: culture, compensation, work-life balance, career opportunities
  • CEO approval and recommend-to-friend percentages
  • Common themes in pros and cons

Hiring activity:

  • Current headcount and growth rate from LinkedIn
  • Number and types of open roles
  • Which departments are hiring hardest (engineering, sales, etc.)

Compensation signals:

  • Glassdoor compensation rating for each company
  • Salary data from job postings where available
  • Compensation-related mentions in reviews (positive or negative)

Analysis Strategy

  1. Search Glassdoor for each company and collect IDs
  2. Pull company overview for all competitors in parallel
  3. Pull 10-15 reviews for each company focusing on recent feedback
  4. Get LinkedIn insights for headcount and growth rates
  5. Search for open roles at each company
  6. Build a side-by-side comparison matrix

What Counts as a Valid Result

  • Compare the same data points across all companies — no cherry-picking
  • Note when review counts are vastly different (statistical significance matters)
  • Flag any companies with suspiciously high or uniform ratings
  • Include actual numbers and ratings, not just subjective assessments
  • If a company has fewer than 50 reviews, flag the small sample size
