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)

They allow it. We used to do it in my last company.

Reading these comments makes me feel like a decentralised review platform is needed

I think Decentralised is not the solution. Companies already have enough resources to show their best picture they would exploit decentralised networks as well. Companies will buy people who are ready to sell themselves.
Maybe a trustable autonomous body in between. Like competition commission of India?

If they don't do it, will anyone here take a paid membership to have the platform bias free?

Companies pay to get their ratings up so don't trust Glassdoor or any other public sites.

I read on reddit, GD is moving towards a b2b model where they provide brand management services to companies. So it's possible if you pay them they will remove negative reviews.

Yes, you can remove a Glassdoor review if you have a LinkedIn premium account

They cannot be removed, but companies do add fake reviews through the HR team/other employees/paid reviews. I’ve seen my company do this. It’s always safe to go only with the negative reviews of any company and connect with the employees of that company on LinkedIn to understand the work culture and other details before accepting an offer.

A friend of mine posted about bad hiring process of a startup, HR persuaded her to take it down. When he didn’t, his post was removed from Glassdoor. It’s true

If someone is joining a company base on reviews.. I pity you. Those people deserve to work in shitty edtech and other broker companies who claim that they are changing the world.

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...

Is glassdoor really anonymous?

I want to post a honest review but I don't want my current employer to find out about it. Is glassdoor really a safe place or can it be traced back to me?
