GlassdoorReviews 274

This is simply a site where bitter employees write negative reviews and then the company encourages employees to write positive reviews which, in the end, makes it worthless for potential employees. I think the business model was probably not clear from the beginning, many are not, and then they got stuck in a trap where it was generating revenue... based on what is ultimately a flawed model. It will die or be acquired by someone that has a more useful approach. I have never heard an employee say they took a job or did not take a job because of the service.

GlassDoor sells itself as being a neutral, honest platform where people can go and post about their work experience at any particular company. But the poor innocents who rely on this honesty don't realize that they'll never see both sides. Employers pay Glassdoor to help them paint a very unrealistic and rosy picture. They can and do get any and all negative reviews removed. If you followed any company, you'd see that positive reviews, will stay up forever, while the negative ones get taken down the very next day. I and some fellow ex-employees have posted many real reviews depicting what an awful place the company we worked for is and as soon as we blink, the reviews are gone. I know for a fact that this company has a staff of people creating phony positive reviews on a daily basis.Don't believe the hype. GlassDoor is THE most dishonest platform ever set up for company reviews. Their "Community Guidelines" are applied randomly when it comes to getting reviews approved or denied, but even if they make it onto the site, they don't last. And forget trying to contact them or even complaining about their practices. You first get an automated "Your email has been received" kind of response, but you will grow old and die before you get any response from an actual human being. Go elsewhere to get company information.

They take down negative reviews for completely bogus reasons and do not follow their own guidelines. First they said that they took it down because I included confidential information, though all I added to my review was information about PUBLIC legal matters and related information that is not considered confidential in US labor law and my employer's contract. Then when I clarified all that in my review, they gave me a totally new BS reason and said it violated community guidelines because they had reason to believe I was not an employee ever or at least in the last five years. First of all, that is not a listed reason in their community guidelines for removal. That does not even make sense since the reviews are confidential. Second, most of the information I gave was public records of events in the last few months! They clearly are reaching for whatever they can to protect the employers that pay them protection money. I hope they get what happened to Yelp. I'll do whatever I can to make sure they do.

They like to try and Bully Adjusters and Claim they repair vehicle per Factory Specs, Which I have obtained statements from a Former Employee that said They do not, I also have a Statement from a vehicle owner that said they tried to Make the Insurance Company pay for and entire Body side instead of repairing a Three inch dent, Which totaled theyre vehicle and cost them Thousands, They are disliked by all body shops and adjusters in all of Western NC.

The Glassdoor model is built on the following scam:

1. Solicit hate from disgruntled employee and competitors, by allowing anonymous posts
2. Encourage employers to post reviews by real employees to counter
3. Encourage employees to post responses to increase SEO
4. Spam employers to pay thousands to counter negative review positioning
4. Spam real employees with daily job offers and ads, encouraging them to leave
5. Remove employees from the business, and encourage the employer to use Glassdoor recruiting services for fees.

Their are no ethical approaches here.

Glassdoor manipulates reviews and statistics in order to generate PR by targeting larger tech companies and financial institutions as well as FMCG companies. They award their CEO's despite their having average reviews, in order to generate PR.

They put out masses of PR to stop any negative reviews of their business.

The flaw:
1. Employers get wise and stop posting responses
2. Employers get wise and stop having employees respond
3. Employers refuse to pay for blackmail review positioning techniques
4. Glassdoors model does not make $. Their sales team can not make targets as hate does not sell.

Glassdoor continues to raise funds from Silicon Valley investors to fund their numerous high paid staff but do not generate real revenue.

Their CEO Robert Hoffman is a bigoted fraud and his senior staff are aware of this and discuss internally between them. Their Head of Legal Brad Serwin is a fraud and a bully, as noted by his own team. The sales team believe it is a matter of time before the company is sold for it's data as targets are unachievable and the business model is simply not sound.

In order to respond to Glassdoor, take every opportunity to share this message and post on their videos on Google, Youtube and every social site.

Our country was not founded on free speech in order to have commercial Silicon Valley capitalists destroy reputations, and harm business. Our country needs action to defend this attack on our liberty and values.

Glassdoor is such a scam! You should be ashamed of yourself. Most of the reviews that are being posted are employees that has done something wrong with their employer, treated their employee wrong, does not respect their managers, or think they knows everything. And employees should be ashamed of themselves posting such bad reviews as well. Glass door don't have any idea what is really going or what really happened... they should notify the company before posting the employee's reviews - ask for approval before posting it live.
And if you're the employee and not happy about the company that you are working for ---- just quit, give your two weeks notice to your employer and leave. Instead most employees, stay and complained, then when/if they finally get terminated, they go to glass door and write a bad review about their employer.

Surprisingly useful. I have many years of work experience, and am new to this state. Glassdoor replaces what I would have found out from my network in my home town. Company's rating, interviews, salary, all the critically important stuff. I would not think of accepting a job offer without checking out Glassdoor. Of course, one must "read through the lines", since there will be some disgruntled employees, and some "glowing write-ups" not inline with most people's assessment. But overall, it very good.

This company is very old school, not progressive or embracing of new technology. Requires all employees to wear uniforms and limits employees on being able to communicate in an honest and professional way.

Glassdoor is about to be sued! I had a horrible interview by a company and posted the negative experience on GLASSDOOR. The Directors of the student loan division for GC SERVICES here in Knoxville, TN DEMANDED THAT I BRING MY CURRENT EMPLOYERS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION WITH ME ON TEAM STATS (call center) to my interview. This is illegal, I posted my concern on GLASSDOOR AND GC SERVICES FLAGGED MY NTERVIEW FOR REMOVAL. Since GC SERVICES IS PAYING ALOT OF MONEY TO GLASSDOOR TO CONTINUOUSLY POST NUMEROUS POSITIONS --Glassdoor removed my honest review in order to please the company that was paying them! GLASSDOOR IS NOTHING BUT A LOW LEVEL FALSE ADVERTISING PIECE OF CRAPP. I RECORDED MY INTERVIEW AND CAN PROVE EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID
