Glassdoor

Myself and several colleagues wrote negative reviews about Foresite Compliance Cloud. This company had liens and did not pay staff. The reviews on glassdoor were honest and only mentioned the stuff that was public knowledge on the web. After much editing reviews made it onto the site. However a few weeks later they were all removed!

Why?

Just because the company hates these negative reviews should not mean they are allowed to get them removed. They should pay their staff and their suppliers and their government taxes - then they would not have this problem - Glassdoor has lost its way!

Such a great idea but they are not following through with their mission statement

Glassdoor obviously "curates" reviews of at least some companies, removing negative reviews without notice to the reviewer, all the while bleating about how important the trust of the user is to them.

Why would anyone use such a service?

I had written a negative review of my former company. It followed guidelines and was completely factual. When the company complained... the review was deleted. I re-worked it and put up a watered down version of the first review. It was accepted and then like the first... a few days later, it was deleted. I just wrote and submitted the third review...
On the site they say that they don't remove negative reviews at employer request but this is a lie. They delete them once the employer/company complains.

UPDATE: 4/17/2016. They deleted my review again after a few days. In addition, there were six or eight other reviews that were negative, some scathing but all within guidelines. All of those were deleted as well... Glassdoor.com deletes reviews if their sponsors complain. Don't expect the straight story from their reviews.

What's the point. I'm a registered user and I can't move forward until I do a review? On what. So you want me to make something up? I'm looking for information but the site tells me I can't move on until I write something. It's stupid and pointless.

Having a review of a big company in China rejected with no reason why, the email says it's because I'm breaking their policy by using names of people in the Company, but I wasn't. So I keep changing different aspects of the review to just get it approved, so far it seems nothing is working.

This feels fraudulent of a reviewing company, if I keep changing my review until something magically works for them, it sounds suspiciously like a sort of cohesion.

It's frustrating enough to read through the thousand of Glassdoor email alerts. Just to find that although you've clearly selected KEY descriptions for the job you're seeking and ELIMINATED key words you're not interested in (ex: entry level, sales, etc)... Glassdoor still pushes out job posts that have nothing to do with the jobs you're looking for. Its such a waste of time! Plus, many of the posts are old and have expired. Glassdoor has has to invest on better IT/programmers/developers to fix this huge problem. ALLOW users to "DISMISS" job posts so they don't keep showing up. Get the search filters to actually work. Maybe Glassdoor should post jobs for programmers that can make this happen.

After numerous customer support requests to make an amendment of my company review i received ZERO response! Therefore, i had to remove my review and write a new one.
After a few days my new review was removed without any notification. Only after i enquired as to why the review was removed, i received a response (which looked like an automated one) saying that a person can not leave two reviews for the same company within one year time. I had to explain that i did not leave a second review, but simply rewrote my initial review. In response to that I received (what looked like an automated response once again) a list of absolutely irrelevant violations that caused my review to be removed. My requested clarification on those violations is being successfully ignored ones again by Raquel Mia, Glassdoor Content & Community Team.

GlassDoor doesn't follow its own written policies and allows disgruntled employees to write libelous reviews about their former companies. We have a former employee who lied on his time sheet claiming wages he didn't earn; no showed for work multiple days; stole parts; created bad morale and flagrantly lied about his employer and GlassDoor allows him to post 6 negative reviews within days of one another when its own policies provide only one review per poster per year is allowed... I would gladly join a class action suit against this shotty company for publishing blatantly false materials...

We have recently gone through a raising of the bar and purging of poisonous gossipy employees that were not measuring up! They all bonded together and wrote a number of scathing venoumus lies on glassdoor. They even wrote things that were blatantly untrue about our revenue and cost which they know nothing about which is against Glassdoors policy supposedly. We had to bring this to their attention to have them at least remove those comments. They too are now trying to get my husband the CEO of our company use them for business. Of course we would never ever! But if there is ever a class action law suit we will definitely be a part!

Every time our company fires a useless employee, a bad review is posted on "garbage door". We are very successful and our management team never responded to the " 100 of emails" received from garbagedoor after each bad review. As they try to blackmail
By " offering a service to increase blablabla". This website is for looser.

A sales manager that never sold anything was fired (after 9 months!). He posted 10 bad reviews in one month!

Glassdoor is only interested in helping you as a business if you advertise with them; if you just need general help, GOOD LUCK! I have contacted them over 8 times in a 3 month period and only got a call back (within hours) when I stated my need was sales. (And no, we are not interested in posting jobs with you for $10k+/year.) Also, there are 2 company sites for us-we need 1 page only for obvious branding issues. Glassdoor will only delete the imposter account if it makes sense for their search results (wow). However, I still have not been able to even request that they look at the duplicate page because no one will get back with me now that we aren't moving forward with their advertising program. I really like where I work now, but if I am ever in need of a new job, I will not trust anything on Glassdoor's website-they are very self-motivated. I have only been one end of this spectrum, but I can definitely see how the other negative reviews here are true.

I have written reviews regarding a company that I had worked at prior and Glaassdoir keeps deleting all the real honest truthful comments including my reviews submitted and were approved by Glassdoor... and I agree with the majority of comments from viewers including myself: Glassdoor makes every company appear as though it's the best place to work even though We all know there any many horrible awful companies that have revolving doors because they mistreat a majority of employees no matter.
