Overall Rating: 3.6 / 5 (Very good)

The Muse is sleek and user-friendly, and while its database of companies might not be as varied as more prominent websites, the companies they do feature tend to be well-established and reputable.

Where The Muse stands out far above the rest is in the impressive amount of company information they provide. They feature well-written articles and pay personal visits to companies advertising on the site, talking to employees and taking video of the facilities. The Muse also puts job seekers in contact with expert career coaches, facilitating Skype appointments with a few clicks. They have a full directory of coaches for different specialties and level of career experience.
