The Challenge

Your employer brand is what candidates whisper to each other, not what your careers page says. Glassdoor reviews tell the real story, but reading through hundreds of them and spotting patterns takes forever. And you never know if that 3.8 rating is good or bad for your industry. This prompt pulls the data, finds the themes, and gives you an honest read on where you stand.

Context

What to Analyze

Glassdoor signals:

  • Overall rating and how it compares to industry average (3.5-3.7 for tech)
  • CEO approval rating and recommend-to-friend percentage
  • Category breakdowns: culture, compensation, work-life balance, career opportunities, management
  • Review trends — are recent reviews better or worse than older ones?
  • Common themes in pros and cons across multiple reviews

LinkedIn signals:

  • Headcount growth or decline (growing companies with bad reviews = red flag)
  • Follower count and engagement (do people want to work there?)

Public perception:

  • Recent news about layoffs, culture issues, or awards
  • Glassdoor "Best Places to Work" list presence
  • Any viral employee posts or controversies

Analysis Strategy

  1. Search Glassdoor for the company and get their ID
  2. Pull company overview for aggregate ratings
  3. Pull 20-30 recent reviews and categorize sentiment themes
  4. Get LinkedIn insights for growth context
  5. Google for recent employer brand news
  6. Synthesize into an honest employer brand assessment

What Counts as a Valid Result

  • Use actual Glassdoor ratings — do not estimate or fabricate scores
  • Quote specific review snippets as evidence for claims
  • Note the sample size (a 4.5 rating from 12 reviews is different from 12,000)
  • Flag if reviews are suspiciously uniform (possible astroturfing)
  • Compare against industry benchmarks where possible
