Companies have the option of paying Glassdoor to put up videos and other PR material (Featured Reviews) which show up at the top and kind of hide the negative reviews. Sounds like the problem Yelp has with its Cash for Good Reviews extortion scheme
It's trivial to find bad reviews on glassdoor
Sure. If you put the effort it is trivial. I'm referring to the psychological tactics
before the pay option plenty of companies were asking, or "encouraging", employees to give good reviews to boost their scores.
For salaries it's wildly inaccurate. Everything else is good.
It lost its charm a long time ago. All people do is bash the company I work for on there and I know firsthand that it's a great company. The things the people are saying aren't true and are only from disgruntled ex-employees that didn't get their way.
Can you prove it with facts and data?
look for the bad reviews their probably then only honest ones
In my experience, this is not the case. Bad reviews are mostly temper tantrums from ex-employees that didn't get their way.
I've given bad reviews when I dealt with managers that are racist as well as discriminating against the standard EEOC policies
Glassdoor used to be one of my favorite sites, but they refuse to take down obviously fake reviews by companies which is ruining the usefulness.
Absolutely. It's embarrassing. I've reported fake reviews, but they don't do anything about them.
Check out this new site which is taking a different quantitative approach. https://www.comparably.com/
I prefer comparably to glassdoor
I've seem good things from Comparably. Glassdoor should have competition. It'll make them both better.
Until Comparably needs money and looks at the companies to get money
My HR VP actively recruited employees to post positive reviews of the company on GlassDoor. They were also able to respond to negative feedback without any sort of opportunity for rebuttal.
This is somewhat true.. but Glassdoor is still the best option for seeing salaries at a certain level (i.e director, VP). For people who can see that a page is sponsored, they can still see the actual info.
