Uh, that is a big negative sign for me, because they have an an "employer active" account. In other words, they pay for the privilege to get reviews deleted. >

That's so unfortunate. I remember back when Glassdoor prided themselves on not doing that.

Potentially leaving them open to the pettiest securities fraud suit ever.

Is there any evidence that glassdoor lets employers do this? I think glassdoor actually specifically says that they won't, unless it violates a law somehow. They even specifically state that they "don’t take sides in factual or contractual disputes between employers and reviewers." https://help.glassdoor.com/article/I-m-an-employer-What-can-I-do-about-negative-reviews-on-Glassdoor/en_US/ https://help.glassdoor.com/article/I-m-an-employer-What-can-...

  Anecdote: A former company I worked for had a negative Glassdoor Review. It "disappeared". Dunno how, but it's not there anymore. I suspect at some point they could be removed. But again, anecdote.

  Generally employers figure out who left the bad review and threaten legal action to the person who made the review. It isn't Glassdoor that removes the review but the person who wrote it.

  Also anecdotal: our employer "highly encouraged" us to write glowing reviews of the company as a marketing effort to make the company look better to potential hires.

A previous employer of mine had a Glassdoor "problem" with bad reviews. Now when people leave they are bribed with a week's pay to promise not to post anything bad, and their Glassdoor reviews now are packed with glowing praise that look quite fake and contrived. Show me a rating system and I'll show you ways for people to game it.

  A week? Lmao fuck that. Offer me 6 months and now we're talking. Last place that paid me to walk away gave me 4 months of salary, plus COBRA and PTO (which is legally required).

How does one know when an account is "employer active"?
