My Take: Does HR hate Glassdoor?

GetFive

It’s an open secret that HR pros don’t much like Glassdoor’s review platform. Recently, I saw it for myself when I attended a meeting at Glassdoor’s headquarters in San Francisco, along with a group of HR leaders. Their frustration with Glassdoor was palpable.

They’re not your boss—in professional tennis, golf, and skating, the athlete hires and fires the coach—but they can be bossy.
