The problem is many startups, especially those trying to "double engineer headcount within this year", encourage new hires to write good reviews during orientations when those employees barely know the working environment at the company.

But Glassdoor reviews were filled with 'Silicon Valley Dream' and 'Making it Big' reviews. The handful of reviews that really told the truth were minuscule to affect the ratings.
