With digitalization people are more connected and have platforms to share their experiences and opinions in form of reviews. Owing to the fact that these reviews are coming from someone like us and are usually genuine and trustworthy, today, people refer these reviews before buying anything, choosing a restaurant, movie, educational institute and what not. So, why not for job search? Referring to a company reviews by a job seeker is something which is comparatively a newer practice in placement industry; however, job seekers are finding it very helpful & effective in choosing the right company as well as preventing themselves from getting stuck in a wrong company.

Why Should You Refer Company Reviews?

Management
By reading the company reviews, you can comprehend what type of management is running and managing the company. If you are finding reviews that show positivity about the company and praises for the management, you can be certain of a great management team. 

HR policies
Going through the reviews of the previous employers, you can make out what types of policies are being executed by the company’s HR department. You can know about how they handle grievances, recruitment policies, staff retention, employee relations etc., through the reviews.

Work Culture
If the reviews reflect happy people who enjoyed their tenure in the company, praised the environment & people, and were completely satisfied with how they worked, it points towards an amazing work culture of the company. 

Work-life balance
How the employees of the company have reacted towards over-time, work-from-home and other flexibilities should be kept in mind to know the work-life balance in the company. If the employees are blabbering about how life ends after work, you need to dig deeper before choosing that company. 

Salary Standards
Many companies do not give out salaries regularly and this can be easily seen in the reviews. By reading reviews about the remuneration and satisfaction of the employees, you can know about the company’s salary standards, appraisal policies etc.

How To Refer To Company Reviews?

Numbers Tell A Lot
The numbers of online forums and review sites tell a lot about a company. The company’s overall rating is the first number you see and that could tell how well the company is being rated by the employees. You can compare the ratings of the company you are interested in with the ratings of its competitors. By doing so, you will not just know where the company stands in the industry but also know about other potential employers. 

Research Deeper 
Just looking at the main overall rating of the company wouldn’t tell you everything about the company. You need to research deeper to get a better insight into the company, its management and working. Take out some time to read all the reviews posted on different company review sites to know what the employees of the company think. You can read their stories and analyze the pros and cons of the company before getting started there. The pros of the company can help you decide whether it is fulfilling your requirements and is it better than the competitor. The cons will tell you the real truth. You can read the stories from employees who have faced any problem in the company to know what the main problem is. If you think their problems wouldn’t be a cause of concern for you, go ahead. But if you find these problems to be too big, it is better to start looking for other companies. 

Reviews on online forums and review sites can let you differentiate between a credible company and a fraudulent one. Read the reviews carefully before agreeing to work for any company to make sure you know more about the company beforehand. This would save you a lot of trouble you could otherwise face if you start working for a company without knowing its management, standards, policies, work culture, etc.
