I had a bad experience with glassdoor.

I wrote about my bad experience at one of the company I interned for. Some PR from the company comment on my review, I knew the PR guy cuz he goes around doing it to other reviews there and create fake reviews.

Anyway, I call him out on it said he's using ad hominem for one of his tactic in the comment. Other users comment and back my report up.

After a few week glassdoor deleted my comment and the comments that back me up, they left the PR guy comment up. I wish I could have screen shot it.

Eventually they did away with the comment system.

I don't trust them at all.

There are aggregate surveys from O'Reily and stackoverflow. I think it's pretty decent. O'Reily doesn't give raw data for their data science survey so I couldn't do any survey analysis to confirm it but they release their linear regression model.

Sounds like that was a positive step, wasn't it? Getting rid of the system that allowed the company to comment on your review?

I liked the comment system we were able to have a discussion.

While the PR guy was shady, realizing other people having the same experience via rebuttal and affirming my comment via their experiences seem much better.

I usually like having a dialogue/discussion. Glassdoor is where you can give anonymous reviews, mind as well have people annoymously have a discussion about said company.
