I built Expedia to make travel prices transparent. Then Zillow for home prices. Glassdoor does the same for salaries. My whole career is ruining information asymmetry.
Before Glassdoor, the only way to know if a company was toxic was to work there for six months. Now you know before you submit your resume.
Companies hate us until they win a Best Places to Work award. Then they put the badge on their careers page and love us again.
We've had over 100 million reviews submitted. That's 100 million employees telling the truth about their workplace. HR departments can't spin their way out of that.

Knowing what your colleague makes shouldn't be a secret. Salary transparency doesn't create problems — it exposes problems that already exist.
