From Amazon to Angie’s List, the last decade has brought a new customer voice to the forefront, empowering users and demanding transparency from brands.

About Glassdoor 

Glassdoor is an online job site where people go to get a feel for what it’s like to work at a company. “Glassdoor offers candidates a chance to look for jobs and read authentic and transparent reviews from employees currently and formerly employed in an organization.” 

Glassdoor provides insight into leadership, culture, competitive benchmarking, the interview and onboarding process, and more. 

Why is Glassdoor Important?

Like your coworkers? You might consider leaving a Glassdoor review. Forbes reports Glassdoor says there is a 30% greater retention rate among hires that use their site, which makes sense because when it comes to fit, the more information you have, the better decision you can make. 

Perficient is always seeking the best and brightest to join our team, making Glassdoor an important channel for us. By taking the time to leave a rating and review, you are helping directly influence our potential employees, bringing better skilled, more dedicated and passionate talent to our teams.

Leaving an Employer Review

Great reviews help make people want to work here, making Glassdoor the perfect place to share what makes Perficient so unique and special. If you’re ready to leave an employer review, here are a few things to consider in order to create an accurate, fair, and useful review for others.

  • Be sure to review and follow the Community Guidelines to ensure everyone can benefit from a helpful, balanced, and authentic community.
  • Each individual should submit only one review, per employer, per year, per review type (e.g. company review, interview review, salary review, benefit review, etc.). 
  • Your content should be related to jobs you have held (or interviews you have had) within the last five years so it’s relevant to today’s job seeker.
  • Above all else, honesty is key

Leaving a company rating is important, but thoughtful reviews really help paint the picture about what it is like to work at Perficient. Composing what exactly goes into that review is another story. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
