Zero weight I have friends that work for Glassdoor and they even say not to trust it

FYI Fishbowl is owned by Glassdoor.
I put weight in the bad ones but not the reactionary ones. I also feel people aren’t going to give positive reviews because who wakes up and goes “know what I am going to do? Write a love note to my job!”

I read them, but I don't put a lot of weight into it unless it's glaringly obvious that something is up. I once interviewed with a company and say that out of 27 reviews, none were higher than 2.5 stars. That's a red flag to me.
