Glassdoor Team — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 15:37:45 +0000

First we’d like to thank the Academy for nominating Glassdoor as one of the top five employment websites. We’d also like to thank our parents and our dog Fluffy….

In all seriousness, we’re through the roof excited about this nomination for one of the Internet industry’s two most sought-after awards: The Webby Award and The Webby People’s Voice Award. We also are honored in the guides/ratings/reviews category – although we’re no longer in the running for an official Webby Award, it does mean that of the nearly 10,000 entries received from all 50 states and over 60 countries, Glassdoor was given the distinction of being awarded as the top 15% of all sites entered in this category – a pretty cool achievement.

The Webby’s are the leading International award honoring excellence in interactive design, creativity, usability and functionality on the Internet. And, the Webby People’s Voice Awards is one of the few major awards that invite the public to participate by allowing them to vote for their favorite nominees.
