Glassdoor reviews are faked, at least at my company HR routinely writes tons of positive ones and when we purchase Glassdoor advertising suddenly our negative reviews vanish or get ranked lower and lower.

My boss actually blatantly asked us all to go write some 5-star reviews, it was ridiculous.

Same here in Germany, our employer asked us to write 5-star reviews on Kununu (Glasdoor-like site from XING).
