I uploaded a review of an employer and Glassdoor changed both some of my phrasing and removed large portions of the text. What gives?
Propaganda is the norm.
But still... It's no longer even my review??? I now trust all the other reviews a lot less.
I just thought this was common knowledge haha
Yes, of course they do. They also seem perfectly ok with allowing toxic companies to write fake positive reviews in response to critical reviews by employees. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Credit-Karma-RVW18507625.htm

@Qqyo65 did you try flagging the review? Believe it or not , fraud is taken seriously at Glassdoor and flagged reviews are asked to be reverified by the user who submitted it.
Old news. See this previous Blind post Check out this post! "PSA to HR that writes fake reviews on glassdoor (SF Bay)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/LmJ0YmQD
I've been at GD over 4 years now, and I'm genuinely surprised at this. We're a private company and our CEO genuinely cares about what we do. There is a clear line and no one but the content moderation team can do anything about the actual content. I.e. sales or marketing can't edit or delete a post. Also, guarantee that companies can not pay to remove a post. That's not to say that sometimes fake reviews make it on the site, i'm sure it happens... but what you say seems very odd to me OP. Our community guidelines state what can and can't be done, if a reviews infriges this, it would be removed, not edited. Even spelling mistakes aren't corrected due to this policy of keeping the content as it was written...
This is not the case. I wrote my review in Gdocs and copied it over. I can clearly see terminology changes. In one place I referenced someone being fired and it was changed to sound like he left voluntarily.
That's so weird.... honestly never heard of this before (and disappointed if that's true). You could write to the content team to get the answer right from the horse's mouth - content@glassdoor.com - you sure they simply didnt remove your review and that's someone else's? Other than that, i'm at a loss :)
Here ya go buddy
It’s not your review. If Glassdoor was changing reviews, it would be easily provable (not anecdotal by an anonymous internet user, but by journalists and researchers in the field). Even if they wanted to do it, it would be too risky. The company would be over and I’m 100% confident that they would rather keep it open for the opportunity to make money over the long term vs short term gain.
Not a chance something triggered “undo” to halfway through you editing /writing a review before hitting send?
@OP this is not possible. Can you check in your content contribution history if that's the review that you added? Someone above mentioned it. It is possible your review didn't make the cut and it might be someone else's review that you are seeing on the site. Here's a link to check your contribution. https://www.glassdoor.com/member/account/reviews_input.htm
