At times? It's a cesspool of negativity and lies. Good content is the exception on Blind. Deleting that app is one of the best things someone can do for their mental health.


I can second this.

I made the mistake of downloading it once big players started layoffs in hopes of getting in on the news before it hit. But that forum is toxic sludge for anyone’s mental health.

I don’t use it anymore. The only time I download the app is like glassdoor when figuring out if a company is ok or not.


I would not trust Glassdoor reviews whatsoever. Companies can pay to curate reviews.

As you would expect, it's horrible. The moderation is quite bad too. They'll ban you for just saying you disagree with someone depending on the topic.


> The moderation is quite bad too.

What moderation? There's been a picture of feces inside a toilet bowl on that Blind thread for the past 3 hours.


Feast or famine, as they say. Whole new meaning to the phrase "shit hole."
