Employees can write anything they like once they get in trouble or do something wrong. Bad employees can write anything and even employers can... the site allows anything so makes the whole thing pointless for anyone accept the people who make money running glassdoor.

Glassdoor is a SCAM!
September 3, 2018

After speaking with the glassdoor sales reps and declining use their employer services, glassdoor removed all of our companies positive reviews and left the bad ones only dropping our ratings severely.

Glassdoor is extremely unethical attempting to get us to pay to keep our positive reviews.

This site isn't legit for the people trying to be honest. They pretty much only accept positive reviews and I kn ow for a FACT, that Glassdoor removes negative reviews of companies that pay them. FACT.

L signed up on Glassdoor which requires you to sign up for their site and leave a review from a former company you worked for. Once you have left the feedback, you can access what they claim are available jobs... NOT... I saw three jobs that l was interested in, once l clicked onto the company website the job was not available... and guess what? Wait for it... the job was posted that day... This jobsite is a joke, don't waist your time.

Do not post your jobs on this site unless you want to be billed forever. It is very difficult to cancel your subscription. Glassdoor makes it nearly impossible to cancel and they are unwilling to refund your money.

With the job market the way it is, if you don't apply to a job within 2 days of it being posted you might as well forget. I keep getting job alerts of job posted weeks ago. This is not helping me much

The reviews on this site are mostly disgruntled employees who are often fired for good reasons and fake reviews posted by companies trying to boost their rating. Glassdoor makes it difficult enough to post a review that the only people who will do so are highly motivated -- either because they were incentivized by their company to post a good review or because they want to retaliate against their company for firing them. A normal person wouldn't have the time to jump through the hoops.

They offer paid services to combat company's negative reviews. It's basically an extortion racket.

This company is horrible the reviews do not even match the company they are reviewing, Do not trust there reviews, I wish i had something nice to say but from my experience it's all bad. You can not get anyone on the phone. When i flagged the incorrect reviews they stated that they are not going to remove the reviews. What a joke of a company

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.

Glass door is a scam and will take your review and hide it if it is not what the employer wants you to see. They are in fact paid off by the companies that they are supposed to review. How do I know this? I wrote a review of club colors just a week ago and they decided to keep this obviously fake review that says it's the place to work at the top. The review was written a year ago! So I wrote them a review and sent it to them. I said that eventually people will find out that your services are a lie and that you are indeed payed off to pad a job and no longer will consider your services viable. They must think that people are to dumb to figure it out.

Fake positive reviews and companies pay to remove negative reviews. You will not get accurate information about companies that are truly awful to work for as those companies are the ones who pay to remove anything they don't like. Glassdoor you suck!

Glassdoor is Joke
December 14, 2017

Our company had 14 positive 4 star and 5 star reviews taken off. Within 24 hours, we received an email from Glassdoor stating that they can help if we pay $10,000 a year so that we can manage our profile. UNBELIEVABLE! Glassdoor needs to be investigated!

We have taken another look at the post you flagged and will not be removing it from the site. The management can also submit their own reviews for the company. They are also allowed to updated their reviews whenever they want as long as it still meets our

When you look for a honest review of a company it shouldn't have a review on top from a manager so that it helps the ratings? Glass door feels its ok for the company to have someone do a five star rating so they can show a bad company to look like a better place to work at?
Why would you look for a review that the company can add a review to give you a false feeling to work there. Look for your self
Check it out luke dorf inc on Glass Door first one is five star fake, all the rest say don't work there. Rating of 2.4 only because glass door thinks its fair?

My experience. An account with 7 negative reviews turns after an invasion and in only one month into an account with 10 (fake) positive and 6 negative reviews. Required account activity control, denied. They live to give profit to companies.

Reviews get deleted
August 25, 2018

I and my other 2 friends worked for the same company. We all left different times within the same year and we wrote reviews for the company. Which has its pros and cons. I and my friend worked there for over 12+ years. I left on a good note so it wasn't that bad of a review. Just some things they need to improve on. After some time, I went to check on Glassdoor to see the ratings. Only to see ALL the reviews we wrote were deleted! Even though they were on there for months! So it BS when they say "Your trust is our top concern, so companies can't alter or remove reviews." They don't even tell you why it got removed. So I think my old employer has some control. So I don't trust Glassdoor now.

They attach themselves to your info via 'sign in' and then deny acct. Deletion due to 'site problems at this time' probably phishing passwords and email info for building databases to sell to marketing firms.

Why do they remove well written negative reviews and stab the thought and right to express.
I can confirm that Glassdoor does remain biased towards firms that look to maintain a clean image. I personally wrote three reviews of a firm that's business practices has lead to employees leaving the firm. I wrote my reviews that were well within the polices of Glassdoor and the three times I wrote my reviews they were removed. I sent a email to Glassdoor asking why my review were removed, with no response. Our complaints about Glassdoor won't be listened to by Glassdooor so the only alternative is for another business review company that is unbiased towards the the reviews placed online.

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.

There may be mixed reviews with this site but I think it is useful because it gives one the opportunity to post reviews about salary issues or issues with a company. Of course one has to careful of the content but there is still validity in this site. Its the people who post and not the site who are the ones to blame if the content is not right. Besides the site features are still wonderful and I have found greatly useful!
