    Back when they were barely known, Glassdoor.com was a great place to get a rundown on a companies. In the past they actually seemed vigilant in weeding out obviously fake positive HR reviews. However, I've noticed they've begun taking down negative reviews. The most egregious was a company I dealt with which suddenly has nothing but glowing reviews, all but two being written in the past two months, with ALL the negative reviews taken down. Oh well, another fun web site bites the dust.

            Do you enjoy being a sock puppet? Glassdoor routinely removes bad reviews which don't violate their policy; in this specific case, they literally removed ALL the bad reviews and replaced them with nothing but positive reviews obviously written by HR. What a company claims is worthless. What they actual do is everything. (A few years back, Amazon was found to be manipulating book reviews at the behest of publishers. They also routinely leave in place reviews which blatantly violate their policy, even when reported. The result is that while Amazon reviews can be interesting, they aren't reliable.)

              because they always tell truth and admit they remove bad reviews? They like Vulcans? Maybe bad review violate terms of the service.

                    I don't follow. There was no action item in OP's post to buy into, or any way to verify the claim or follow up. OP seemed to be hotdesking conspiracy theories not meeting any benchmarks for accuracy.

                      My mistake then; glassdoor is so ubiquitous I felt no explanation was necessary.
