GlassdoorReviews 274

I have worked some good jobs, some okay ones and some bad ones. But according to glassdoor most of these places are amazing and anyone who says otherwise is a lazy simpleton.
Why? Well sadly it is entirely within the realm of possibility for a companies with disregards for ethics to make accounts on glassdoor and post tons of fake positive reviews. This is most prevalent with smaller companies, especially marketing ones. Yes, I realize that that unfortunately means that this review too could be fake since both sitejabber and glassdoor require no validation, but that is up to you. As well, with the larger companies many people go on glassdoor to brag about how much they work and how much responsibility they have like anybody cares. This too skews the reviews to be overly positive.

Anyway, point being, as a site which is meant to give the viewer an idea of what working for a specific company is like, there's a lot of misinformation involved.

A negative review I'd written, submitted, and was approved by Glassdoor, had been later REMOVED.

I have no doubt my former employer contacted GD, as my review exposed them of their racial bias. I never received an email or explanation from GD to explain why it was removed.

Their disclaimer that reviews cannot be removed by employers, is bogus. My previous employer is "engaged" on Glassdoor, so I have no doubt this allows them special privileges, Glassdoor is a fraud.

We have recently gone through a raising of the bar and purging of poisonous gossipy employees that were not measuring up! They all bonded together and wrote a number of scathing venoumus lies on glassdoor. They even wrote things that were blatantly untrue about our revenue and cost which they know nothing about which is against Glassdoors policy supposedly. We had to bring this to their attention to have them at least remove those comments. They too are now trying to get my husband the CEO of our company use them for business. Of course we would never ever! But if there is ever a class action law suit we will definitely be a part!

Our company has had a mass exit of employees and many problems with management this year and therefore Glassdoor was getting hit with all the negative reviews after people left.
HR got very concerned and asked their people to post positive reviews as all the negative reviews were possibly hindering the hiring of all the backfill positions.
Recently all the negative reviews were taken down over a weekend, yet the made up fake ones HR put on there all within a day of each other are all still there (and are which are pretty much all the same word for word so too obvious there...).
So much for unbiased opinions. Show Glassdoor the $$$... and they will be biased.

Glassdoor allows anyone to post anything anonymously. A competitor or disgruntled former employee can post lies and cause real harm without impunity. The employer has no real recourse, because Glassdoor hides behind legal immunity and will fight tooth and nail to prevent the employer from finding out who is behind the defamatory posts. There should be an employer class action suit.

It's frustrating enough to read through the thousand of Glassdoor email alerts. Just to find that although you've clearly selected KEY descriptions for the job you're seeking and ELIMINATED key words you're not interested in (ex: entry level, sales, etc)... Glassdoor still pushes out job posts that have nothing to do with the jobs you're looking for. Its such a waste of time! Plus, many of the posts are old and have expired. Glassdoor has has to invest on better IT/programmers/developers to fix this huge problem. ALLOW users to "DISMISS" job posts so they don't keep showing up. Get the search filters to actually work. Maybe Glassdoor should post jobs for programmers that can make this happen.
