Most of these ratings are all "subjective". Every company, org, CEO have their own flaws and pluses. If employees feel well rewarded, they'll live with those issues and still rate high. When they feel insecure/feel undercompensated (relative to their peers), these issues become larger.
If Snap was doing well and their stock was flying high, employees would be feeling happy, believing Evan's way of getting everything through him is better, than purely data driven model of FB. Since Snap is struggling, all the issues feel painful.
Not denying that there are issues. Personally, I prefer the data driven model of FB (despite the frustration when critical employee feedback is blatantly ignored or dismissed because metrics). But if I were in Snap, and getting rewarded well, I probably would live with it too.
Glassdoor is a scam. They comically misrepresent TC for tech jobs and they extort business for money so they can βmanageβ their page and improve their ratings.
Come misrepresentation comes from not breaking down the different classes of companies and expectations. An SE at a startup might get paid little vs SE at Google. However role and responsibilities are wayyy different. Theres more of former and less of latter, so it drags the avg comp way down.

Itβs hard to understate how much of a lot of peopleβs happiness is wrapped up in the success of the company they work for.
