Glassdoor has a big problem with fake or bad data. The salary data is often very inaccurate (at my last company we had people posting data for offices in cities where we didn’t have offices and with salaries that were just not true).
Fake reviews is also a problem—both positive and negotive reviews.
Glassdoor does little to help employers correct obviously bad information although they are happy to sell you “premium” services where you can bury things you don’t like further down the display of data. Their sales people call this “featuring” content. Sigh.

- erikb 9y agoI love how you put the whole business case into a single comment. Officially they track an objective interpretation of the company. Only few companies would really get positive review though. So they also offer a way for the companies to improve their reviews for cash. And that is the main income probably.
