I have known Glassdoor to be a little suspect in terms of its usefulness, but this year it seems to have gone off the deep end. This year my company laid off a large portion of its staff and subsequent reviews showed up on Glassdoor giving them (justified) 1 star reviews for the way they handled the situation. As of this writing ALL of them are gone, like magic. Last week I attempted to write an interview review for a company that I spoke to, and a major problem was that they wanted me in the office while COVID is raging in my state. When I submitted the review it wasn't allowed to go through because it didn't meet the guidelines. To my surprise, it was because I had the word "covid" in the review body which is a very important discussion to have right now, but Glassdoor won't allow it. With layoffs and employee health being massive issues in 2020, it seems that Glassdoor is siding with employers rather than providing candidates with useful information. Are you experiencing the same thing with how useful Glassdoor is?
