What you can do is ask at an interview, if you need clarification about Pearl Lemon reviews Glassdoor or any company’s reviews there. Try “I read on Glassdoor that bonuses are fantastic. Can you tell me about your bonus program?” or “I read on Glassdoor that people didn’t receive promised bonuses. Can you clarify what happened?” An honest interviewer will answer your questions.

Alternatives to Glassdoor Reviews
Glassdoor is a large, global website, but not the only place to effectively research a possible future employer. You should also check any – or all – of the following:
- The company website, which at the least will give you an idea of brand voice and the company’s mission, even if it is (understandably) positively biased.
- LinkedIn, both the company page and individual employee profiles.
- Indeed. Indeed is another global job board that is growing fast. The reviews there are also anonymous, but they may offer a different perspective.
- Google searches. Bad stuff is harder to hide from Google, so a Google search may tell you more about the downside of a firm. And the positives too.
