What should you think about a company that has no 2 or 3 or 4 star reviews? It only has the extremes, nothing in the middle.
Someone writes:
"Take a look at the distribution of reviews - either 5 star or 1 star. Seems a bit fishy to me. Nonetheless, I would still rate my experience a 1."
Perhaps there are many companies like this?
- kelnos 9y agoI think it's just selection bias: the people most likely to take the time to write a review are those who either had an amazing experience or an abysmal one. People with feelings in the middle usually aren't as motivated.
- Clubber 9y agoI would say it is selection bias, but the people who had a miserable experience wrote their reviews, and then management/ownership flooded the site with 5 star reviews to offset the bad reviews (instead of fixing the company of course).
