#4This happened at my previous company when they had bad glassdoor reviews. Every new person through the door, was sort of forced to write a glassdoor review. They would be given a nice welcome, some schwag, sell them on the company. People inevitably wrote good reviews, alas once the honeymoon period ended, they were in for a rude shock.

Meaning you were pressured by an employer? Would be interesting if Glassdoor periodically reached out to users to revise reviews and capture sentiment "before and after" working at a given company.

#6Is there any service that actually is fair? When Ubisoft makes Forbe's "Best Places to Work" I don't feel like I can trust anything to make an objective measure other than organic word of mouth and simply experiencing it for myself.

There is no harm in disclosing the company at which this occurred. If anything, there should be a website cataloguing the companies that do this.

#8Not too surprising. On my last job hunt I looked around and a lot of the praise felt buzzword-ish and such.
Then again the negatives too seemed very specific to a user or department or just weird.

Glassdoor does provide the ability to review the interview process itself which somewhat fits the bill.

#10Glassdoor was acquired by Indeed which was acquired by Japan's Recruit Co. Ltd. So keep that in mind.
