Has anyone worked for a company as soon as a bad Glassdoor review appears the company starts digging to try to find out who posted the review? A friend works for a company and the higher ups had all the directors ask all employees if they wrote a bad review.

Wow I can't imagine why they got a bad review.....

Happens all the time at my place of employment. I know in the past if a review was negative and mentioned a name they would get that review taken off the glassdoor website. I witnessed this a few times.

That's wild! Tell us what company it is and we can make sure your honest review gets posted!

I did this once, though not for an accounting job. The review wasn't too bad, and they didn't go looking for the person who did it, but I heard later that it definitely caused some discussion. The push for the employees to post Glassdoor reviews went away very quickly

Usually it’s gets blamed on someone that just left.

I do read Glassdoor reviews and can't imagine how any company would find out who wrote the review. If you read many recent negative reviews it could be a deciding factor in accepting a position.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
