Best practices

What you can submit

  • One review or answer per person, per company
  • Reviews or answers only for companies you work for or have worked for
  • You may submit questions about the working environment of any company

What you should do

  • Share your own, original review based on your time at the company.
  • Give your own opinion. Don't state opinions as facts.
  • Use examples from your experience.
  • Avoid naming or identifying people who are not public figures.
  • Explain what you liked or did not like. You may share constructive suggestions.
  • Focus on the company's environment and culture.
  • Be truthful and accurate. Your content should be your own opinion.

What you shouldn't include

  • Review of the company's products or services
  • Jargon, symbols, or made-up words
  • Someone else's words or content
  • Non-public information or legal claims
  • Personal information about you or others

If we reject your review, but you believe it meets our guidelines, you may be able to submit a new one.
