Nope, Glassdoor does not allow removing reviews afaik (they are absolute on this)

But companies compensate by posting fake reviews that are very positive (Eg- Cons: none that I can think of)

PSA: Do not join company based on too good Glassdoor rating

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but do not blindly trust good glassdoor/ambitionbox/others ratings. In this bad market every company is working well below what their rating portrays. Now it could be 5/5 in one team but 2/5 in another...
