Most jobs are lovely and I would give them all 1 star for taking up so much of my time.

lol the fake-positive HR ones are so easy to spot. mention how things are changing, mention some fringe benefit that actual employees don't care about, and a con that you then say isn't really a problem. my company posted a whole string of them in a row (even loving up and posting an almost-identical review twice with just a few sentences changed) after they noticed we had almost nothing but negative reviews lately. it also coincided exactly with HR responding to all the negative reviews with stuff like "Oh no! please bring this up with your manager." and they responded to their own review with "Finally! Someone writing a review with how most employees really feel!" Flat Daddy fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Aug 31, 2018 |

oh jeez, i got an email from a big tech company recruiter asking to schedule a phone interview i haven't had any practice interviewing at other places yet and i know i'm really rusty and will almost certainly fail a phone screen if i fail the phone screen i'll have to wait a year to reapply, which is not ideal i'm guessing saying "now's not a good time, can you get back in six weeks?" is probably acceptable, but I'm not sure if i'll get the call back or not

pointsofdata posted:What's the biggest red flag you've seen in a glassdoor review. Bonus points for unintentional ones. idk about "biggest red flag" (that someone discusses in a negative review? or something subtle but wrong about a positive review?) but I thought the following two had plenty of telling points. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Endgame-Reviews-E815564.htm?sort.sortType=OR&sort.ascending=true https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/ByteCubed-Reviews-E1001687.htm?sort.sortType=OR&sort.ascending=true If all positive reviews discuss benefits that are in no way unusual for the industry / type of employment, I tend to read that as either HR faking a review (and forgetting that it should not resemble the job posting they were writing a few minutes ago) or an employee (who has taken off their critical-thinking hat for purposes of) writing something nice but not very thoughtful.

my old company doesn’t even their fake reviews. all the real reviews are one star and 1000 words. the five star reviews are mostly just a sentence fragment about how “awesome” it is

ultravoices posted:hi i got a job offer from my first actual interview and i start in a month. Probably; but at least they gave you a bit more. If I suspect I'm underpaid, I've had success in the past by talking to my manager and saying 'I know I screwed up negotiating when hired and would like a raise to compensate'. Obviously depends on the company policy/culture/how much they need you, etc. Congrats anyway, if nothing else you'll know better next time.

Not asking for a bit more, even for what you consider a good offer, is a rookie error. As long as it's not ridiculously out of whack, they won't shut down negotiation just because you asked. Now you know.
