What exactly is the answer you give to candidates who ask you why the reviews about the company you work for on Glassdoor are really bad? I just tell them that most reviews are from disgruntled people and to check if they're able to see consistently bad reviews. I personally think my company is great, but getting asked this question is definitely hard. How do you usually answer if you've been in this place before?

Yeah, it's hard. I acknowledge it and explain that online reviews often reflect the experiences of people who felt strongly, sometimes after a negative event. I encourage candidates to look for patterns in the feedback, ask us direct questions about their concerns, and also consider their own interactions with our team throughout the interview process. Every company has areas to improve, but I believe in transparency and am happy to discuss any specific issues they notice.

this is a great approach

If I'm ever asked about that I just remind people of something everyone instinctively knows just from having been online. Reviews tend to be written by people who are angry or offended. If you have a good experience somewhere, chances are you're not going to take time to post something about it. But if you feel like you've been treated badly, you may want to broadcast that to the world.

very true

Agree with the other comments and experiences vary greatly by department

second this

oof thats tough, I've personally never been asked but I would probably say something along the lines of everyone having different experiences.
