Honestly, the only place where you can currently get genuine company reviews today is Blind, if you can stomach the trolling. The so-called 'kool-aid drinkers' or 'hr puppets' are called out (often humorously) all the time.
For Glassdoor, I am not surprised, this is not news. I interviewed at an awful company once which had stellar - I mean actually straight-A's 'nothing wrong here, we're the best, if God came down from heaven and founded a company, this would be it' reviews. Found out from an ex-employee after they've been acquired by the company I worked at that they were pestered daily to write positive reviews.
- yasp 8y agoWhat is Blind? Went to blind.com and didn't seem to be what you were referring to.

- ddebernardy 8y agoJust took a brief look, and it all looked like whining and trolling. Am I missing something?
- 52-6F-62 8y agoI got the same impression. Not to mention ill-informed in many cases...
- jurassicfoxy 8y agoAgree. I was "invited" to Blind and every thread or comment were useless, antagonistic personal attacks, complaining, etc. It was very immature.
- yasp 8y agoThey want to offer anonymous communication but still demand to know my employer and personal identity. How about no?
- president 8y agoThey had a leak recently, I wouldn't trust them with your work email...
- decebalus1 8y agoThe rule is to not trust any online entity ever. That's just common sense. So everything you write online anonymously should be filtered by the 'What would I feel if this text will appear next to my name and my company name in the New York Times tomorrow morning' filter.
- fasteddie 8y agoI find Blind to be a total garbagefire and den of negativity, which all anonymous social networks trend to.
