I previously worked for company X, employing some technology workers but X was primarily not a technology company.
Somehow there existed in Glass Glassdoor a "Company X" company as well as a "Company X Technology" company, which was serving as a magnet to attract some exceedingly low reviews, even as compared to the primary "Company X" company. Company X had an average rating of about 3.5 from thousands of employees, whereas Company X Technology had an average review of < 2.0 from a few dozen employees.
There was no organizational ambiguity whatsoever which should have resulted in there being 2 separate company records, any more than there should have been separate "companies" for HR, Accounting, etc.
I contacted Glassdoor, and after some back and forth they said they would do nothing to fix the nonsensical company split without the approval of Company X, because Company X was a paying customer of Glassdoor.
Although I do not have any reason to suspect the integrity of value of the actually reviews themselves, the profit-based dishonesty that Glassdoor itself demonstrated, created some doubt in what I see on their site. I doubt most prospective job seekers happen to notice two separate companies, either (or both) of which it might behoove them to peruse.
