Glassdoor, despite what disgruntled employees may desire, is not a platform to post defamatory reviews without fear of reprisal. If a person posts something that fails the libel test (I.e. not opinion but easily demonstrated as to be factually false), Glassdoor can be legally compelled and will deanonymize the person. Be mindful to keep your facts fact and opinions opinion.

- medler 3y agoYour comment isn’t wrong. It’s irrelevant. Of course Glassdoor is subject to laws like any other company. But there’s a lot of distance between complying with the law and divulging users’ private information willy-nilly. In the past they worked hard to protect users’ identities until legally compelled otherwise. Many see these new developments as moving Glassdoor more toward the reckless-with-user-information side of the spectrum.
