Glassdoor has been mostly useless for quite some time now anyway. HR departments offer little trinkets to employees who leave a good review to boost their score, negative reviews can be taken down. Minimal value all around basically.
Aren't Glassdoor's reviews pretty much a scam anyway? Last I heard companies can pay $$ to gain moderation control over their own profile to delete/downrank bad reviews.
How is this not fraud? https://help.glassdoor.com/s/article/I-m-an-employer-What-ca... > You can't pay us to take down reviews and we apply the same content moderation rules to our clients that we use for everyone else. https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ https://www.naag.org/find-my-ag/
I certainly would take CEO approval rating and employee's reviews of overall job satisfaction into account when investing in a company. If you see very low reviews, you know the company is under-investing in employees and will likely need to increase spend on employee retention in the coming years, which is not reported in their current financial reports. Likewise, if you want to be cynical, a consistent 5 star company has some fat it could trim, which would increase it's investment value.
Perhaps we'll see a shareholder lawsuit following a mass employee resignation event which was arguably concealed by manipulating employee reviews.

Many companies pay agencies to post fake positive reviews about them. This is especially common among companies who publish fake job vacancies.
So, what's left besides word of mouth?

All this "my final determination" and "your other surprise account" nonsense could be rectified pretty quickly with a GDPR banhammer. I am increasingly of the opinion that personal info of any kind should be legally radioactive, and very high-risk for companies to hold onto or collect.
The #1 posture is that if we don't actually need the information for the application to run, we don't take it.
I won't go into detail about how we do what we do, but we don't keep any data, other than the email the user chooses to send us (which can be a DEA or proxied one). We also never export that email outside the server. No marketing aggregations, no trend analysis, etc. The email stays inside the deployed server.
This stance has not made me popular with my coworkers, but it has made our app quite popular with end-users.

Edit: figured it out, is confusing
1. Remove social connection if this is how you logged in 2. Log Out 3. Upon login, request a password reset 4. Reset and login 5. Request Deletion 6. Enter newly created password
>they had updated my profile to add my real name and location, the name pulled from the email From line I didn't think to cloak because who does that? How did they get that if you never sent them an email? And if you sent them an email, you gave them your name (whatever name is in the from line)
So he put in a support request, likely via his account; they sent him an e-mail about it, likely to his Glassdoor account's e-mail. He replied from that e-mail address with his full name in the From: field, as most people do, and now they could link his full name with his e-mail address, and update his profile.
