Glassdoor, a workplace community that encourages users to leave information about salary, perks, and advice about companies, is opening their doors to students and career service professionals.
With a valid .edu email account, students will be allowed free access for one year to Glassdoor’s site with the ability to access salary details and company reviews for more than 11,000 potential employers in 80 countries.
Membership to Glassdoor is typically free but revolves around a “give to get” system in which users leave comments about their present or past employer in order to access the site’s content. This rule will be waived for students and career service professionals.
“We always knew that Glassdoor would be an invaluable resource for those managing their careers, but we think students just beginning their career will find it equally valuable for researching companies, preparing for interviews and hopefully negotiating their first offer,” said Glassdoor CEO Robert Hohman. “No matter what career path a student might be interested in pursuing, Glassdoor can offer students real-world insights from real employees.”
Accenture, Cisco Systems, Deloitte, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and Yahoo! are examples of companies with user-generated content that students will have access to.
To apply for an account, students should send an email from their .edu account to students@glassdoor.com.
