I like how Indeed pulls job listings from all over the internet, has useful advanced search features, and most jobs can be applied to quickly. I still do see a lot of irrelevant jobs in my search results though.

Also, Indeed has been having bugs recently where it said I didn't finish my applications even though I received confirmation emails that they were submitted. It also said that no one else applied to those jobs, even though it had been a few days since they were posted. The previous applicants probably had the same issue I had. I tried to submit feedback to them on this, but I couldn't find a way. It didn't seem like that feature was available.

I do notice a lot of negative reviews on Glassdoor and consistency in the kinds of major complaints that individual companies receive, so I wouldn't say the system is totally useless. However, Glassdoor is bad at evaluating which reviews should be approved and which ones should be removed. Both my company reviews were removed without them notifying me. My reviews were thoughtful and didn't violate their guidelines. (One of my reviews was lukewarm and the other one was very positive, so it wasn't just a matter of them removing negative reviews due to the company paying them.)

When I asked them why my reviews were removed, they said "Per our Community Guidelines, we only allow members to submit one review, per company worked at, per year. We have removed your reviews due to violation of this guideline." However, I did not violate that guideline.
