Indeed is the world's largest job board. Indeed Company Reviews is the employer-review feature attached to it — quieter than Glassdoor, smaller in volume, more closely tied to the job-search flow. It is, for that reason, often more representative of recent applicants and current employees.
Indeed users can leave anonymous reviews of employers, including overall ratings, pros, cons, work-life balance scores, and ratings on management, culture and pay/benefits. Reviews surface on company pages adjacent to job listings.
Employers can claim a Company Page, respond to reviews, and pay for branded content and sponsored job posts. As with Glassdoor, employers cannot pay to remove legitimate reviews. The platform moderates against its content guidelines.
Indeed Company Reviews is the platform where you can read a perfectly even-handed assessment of a national supermarket from a person who, three minutes earlier, applied for a part-time job at the same supermarket. The reviews are useful, the ratings are reasonable, and the system works — but the reviewer's mental state is, by definition, located between two windows: this one, and the one with the apply button.
Indeed Company Reviews is most useful as a complement to Glassdoor rather than a replacement. The reading habit that pays off is to cross-reference: if Glassdoor and Indeed agree on the texture, the texture is real. If they disagree, dig into the recent reviews on both before drawing a conclusion. As ever, weight written detail more than the star count.
Yes, in the same shape as Glassdoor — anonymous to other users, account-level data held by the platform.
Only where they break Indeed's content guidelines. Paid features don't include removal rights.
Glassdoor is the larger, older review-first product. Indeed Company Reviews is integrated with the job-search flow and tends to capture more recent applicants and employees.
Reviewers must have an Indeed account. There is no proof-of-employment verification.
For senior or longer-tenure roles, yes. The cross-reference is the most useful thing you can do.
