Cool to have another one in case glassdoor disappears or something.. Is the benefit here that this would show a list of salaries whereas glassdoor shows averages? I haven't used glassdoor in awhile but I sort of recall that it checks your domain. Does this do that too?
As a transgender person, I won't fill it out unless I have the option to opt out of gender identification or select "other" for gender. I'm not alone. http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgender.aspx http://associationdatabase.com/aws/NCDA/pt/sd/news_article/1... http://www.autostraddle.com/facebook-wants-you-to-do-you-add...
So I'm guessing you never fly, because TSA only allows you to pick male or female.
Whenever I fly, I just walk through the checkpoint and move on to my flight.

Take a DNA test. Just because you consider gender flexible, which is fine, doesn't mean you should force everyone else to accept your definition of the term.
Take aside legal aspects, why wouldn't any employee share their salary with their peers? All the secrecy just create noise, how could transparency be bad? I only see some incentive from the company's pov, you can position yourself somewhat better at bargaining salaries, when your employee has no access to the same data to debate, thus lowering costs a few percents. What am I missing?
If you keep your salary a secret, when it comes time to ask for even more money, then the company could be more likely to offer it since it will not have repercussions across the whole team.
Selfish? Yeah, probably, but there you have it.
If you are on the low-end, then getting the salary information of others helps you. If you are on the high-end then it can hurt you (IMHO)--as salaries will tend to trend to the average if they are public info.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Since when do you register your gender with the TSA? Whenever I fly, I just walk through the checkpoint and move on to my flight.

1) A currency field to make this globally applicable.
2) Clarification text that salaries are gross, not net.
3) Ability to select some base benefits: health, eye, dental, travel costs, etc
Signing bonus shouldn't be as prominent as it is. A lot of companies don't do it, and it doesn't factor into compensation past the first year.
How about an "Other Bonus" field? A lot of people at my company get paid on-call compensation. It ends up being pretty significant, but absent a field for it, I'd have to either include it in salary or annual bonus, neither of which quite feels right.
Oh, and some basic demographics fields that you should add that would help a lot include age and highest degree awarded (and in what field).
