I work for the "Labs" (Services) portion of Pivotal and I've seen this guy's stuff on HN before...

Can't comment on what non-services teams are like at Pivotal but the services organization is pretty spectacular.

Pivotal's got problems just like every other organization does, but this guy seems to be mad as hell and blowing things a _bit_ out of proportion.

Overall, the org looks decent on Glassdoor.

Separately from this specific case, Glassdoor is a very imperfect way to evaluate an org. Companies will encourage employees to juice the reviews (https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/01/22/companies-gaming-glas...).

Anecdotally, Glassdoor will often remove negative reviews for paying employers by giving flimsy excuses like "They are against the 'Community Guidelines'" (something that's so broad it's impossible to hold them to specifics). The "features" they advertise for paying employers are all above-the-board though.

Adding another anecdote, I worked for a company which paid Glassdoor to remove a bunch of negative reviews. The score jumped from 2 to 4 overnight and a bunch of well-written negative reviews disappeared.

Can confirm. Old employer started asking employees to post positive reviews when their rating tanked following a series of poorly integrated acquisitions
