The site is awesome, I did basically nostromo's trick with my colleagues in the past and found that I had the highest salary by a reasonable margin but was the newest hire. Ah, the joys of negotiation... A webapp would be great for more distributed teams though!

Me and a couple of buddies made a basic version of Glassdoor back in college before they existed. It's called FuelForHire but it never took off because we never marketed it. I'm promoting it now in hopes it helps people figure out their salary, and on top of that it contains reviews of the hiring process, compensation package, and work environment to give the numbers some context. We DO NOT require you to write a review in order to view one like Glassdoor does, so stop by and take a look, although we'd love it if you did write a review!

It's probably better suited for people to talk about their experiences at past companies instead of their current employer especially if you're paranoid about your anonymity but feel free to use as you see fit.

Again, the site was made 3 years ago when I was young and stupid, so there are a lot of issues (plaintext passwords, anyone?). If there's significant interest I'll start fixing them right away. Check it out:
