Rules for posting reviews are different for smaller companies than they are for larger companies in order to preserve the anonymity of people in close departments. The company has stated that it rejects about 20% of entries after screening. The website verifies that each review of a company comes from real employees "through technological checks of e-mail addresses and through screenings by a content management team", according to Glassdoor spokesman Scott Dobroski. Each year Glassdoor ranks overall company ratings to determine its annual Employees’ Choice Awards, also known as the Best Places to Work Awards. Glassdoor ratings are based on user-generated reviews. Employee reviews are averaged for each company. The site later also began focusing on CEOs and workplaces and what it is like to work at jobs in general. The site also allows the posting of office photographs and other company-relevant media. The company then averaged the reported salaries, posting these averages alongside the reviews employees made of the management and culture of the companies they worked for – including some of the larger tech companies like Google and Yahoo. Glassdoor launched its company ratings site in June 2008, as a site that "collects company reviews and real salaries from employees of large companies and displays them anonymously for all members to see", according to TechCrunch. The company's headquarters were established in Mill Valley, California. The two hypothesized that if the material had been revealed publicly, it could have been a service to those looking to make career decisions. As revealed in an 2014 article in the New York Times, the idea came from a brainstorming session between Barton and Hohman, when Barton relayed the story of accidentally leaving the results of an employee survey on the printer while working at Expedia, when the two began to think about what would have happened if the results had gotten out into the public. The company was cofounded in 2007 by Tim Besse, Robert Hohman (who serves as the company's CEO), and Expedia founder Rich Barton, who served as the company's chairman. In 2018, the company was acquired by the Japanese Recruit Holdings for US$1.2 billion, and it continues to operate as an independent subsidiary. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, it has additional offices in Chicago, Dublin, London, and São Paulo. Glassdoor is an American website where current and former employees anonymously review companies. Robert Hohman, Christian Sutherland-Wong, Ryan Aylward
