Wow, another site that now refuses to play ball unless you sign in.
Guess I'll never be visiting Glass Door again then.
GlassDoor has been gross about this for years.
Not sure if still the case but normally you have to not only 'sign in' but also feed them information (e.x. salary at a position, write a review, etc.) in order to be able to view much of anything.
They also do not give a shit about obvious 'juicing' (i.e. when it is obvious that upper management and/or HR is adding reviews where the 'con' reads like one of those softball warning phrases in a job description.)
This is the fate of every online review site. Every single one. Including IMDB as I realised yesterday while trying to find something to watch.
The most egregious example I've found was that the Danish postal service had something like a 4,8/5,0 rating on Trustpilot. You'll be hard pressed to find a more inept, corrupt and universally hated company. So in an attempt to improve their public image, they decided to game the ratings, instead of actually delivering mail properly.
With the AI(?) bots doing a DDOS on on public websites via residential proxies the future is all website will require login.
In the specific case of Glassdoor, leaving a review about an organization sometime requires a proof that you work there, e.g. receiving a pass code sent to a work email. I'd say that this is reasonable, and makes gaming the reviews much harder.
Can't the bots just sign up for accounts?

I can kind if understand how forcing everyone to add on to the pile of content, from a business point of view.
However they may have proved that they are indeed.. trash. Maybe even a few times.
One such case was https://www.forrester.com/blogs/glassdoors-mishandling-of-cu...
In my eyes they are in the same class of Facebook, uservoice, Pinterest, Quora etc.
What’s wrong with Pinterest? (I don’t use it)
Ironic, given their name.

All but one of the reviews for my company are completely fake (at Glassdoor).
