Glassdoor looks to grow user base with new community features

If you’ve looked for a job in recent years, you’ve probably visited Glassdoor a few times—a platform where you can find anonymous workplace reviews that often include details on the office environment, salary information, and company culture. It happens. Now, Glassdoor is adding community features to its platform.

The move comes after the company’s 2021 purchase of Fishbowl, a social network where professionals interact anonymously or anonymously in ways that encourage transparency and community building in the workplace.

Introducing a new interactive community feature could increase Glassdoor’s user base, which has been flat for the past two years. Glassdoor had 55 million users when it acquired Fishbowl in 2021, and it has remained steady at that number.

Glassdoor users can engage in candid conversations about career, industry, and workplace-related topics in Fishbowl communities, allowing for more transparent discussion. Communities also enable users to gain additional insight and information into the employee experience at specific companies.

Aside from the shop, bowls — as communities are called on Fishbowl — can also be built based on common interests. Glassdoor is moving 10,000 interest bowls and 30,000 company-specific bowls from Fishbowl.

Glassdoor says that the Fishbowl integration will allow the company to deliver a more immersive and interactive experience for all of its users by combining the power of both platforms.
