Glassdoor is good for negative signaling, not so much positive signaling. It probably makes sense that larger, older companies will inevitably get bumped down in Glassdoor’s eyes, since it’s much harder to climb back up than to drop down, and the likelihood of dropping down increases over time.
I would take Glassdoor with a grain of salt (unless you read the negative reviews and find specific constants across reviews). I would also strongly encourage devs to keep FAANG companies as a healthy benchmark for production software.

If things are not going well, you're upset about your work, or you are looking for another job, then you are more likely to be on Glassdoor and/or more likely to leave a negative review. If things are going well at work, you're thinking about your work or something else in your life, not reviewing it on Glassdoor (unless incentivized somehow).
