Open to everyone are full details for Googe, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Cisco; users can get dirt on other outfits by submitting their own details.

Glassdoor plans to make money from ads targeted to job seekers and aggregated data it can sell to human-resources departments. So how are Google software engineers doing?
