There is a startup I know about. On Glassdoor there is a negative review with over 20 "helpful" (aka likes). It has way more "helpful" designations than any other review for the company.
The default sorting method, Popular, puts a different review at the top. The review is a quick throwaway review from a salesman with no meat or substance. It has 1x "helpful".
Can someone help me understand why Glassdoor's "popular" review sort is showing me a review that's clearly not the most popular? It seems like the use a Yelp business model where you need to pay to get good, positive reviews at the top of the pile.
How does it work exactly?
1. Job postings 2. Job ads 3. Corporate branding
You'll notice that 'accurate reviews' or 'helpful information for free users' is not on that list.
Is this not exactly how Glassdoor works?
