I work at a place which had bad reviews on Glassdoor for a long time, until we finally realized it was affecting our recruiting efforts. Hundreds of happy employees simply never thought to post on there... But a handful of unhappy / disgruntled employees made a wonderful place look horrible. So take it with a huge grain of salt.

That being said, if it turns out to be a bad place don’t get stuck! Use it as an opportunity to build your resume and keep looking for new opportunities. Great workplaces are out there, and if you work hard, you deserve to be in one!

People that post on Glassdoor most of the time are disgruntled employees. I take those ratings with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, the one way you’ll know for sure is if you actually experience it.

Good luck! You’ll do great!

Agreed, Glassdoor is the yelp of employment reviews

More or less, I will find out soon…

People that leave bad reviews on glassdoor are not the most intelligent. It only reflects poorly on your future job prospects. You don't want prospective employers to have a tainted view of your previous experiences because of bad reviews.
