Has anyone noticed that the GitHub reviews on Glassdoor.com only start from May 19th, 2015? Have they been deleting bad reviews? Seems really suspicious.

No, I did not notice that. And that's because glassdoor is such a whiney bitch-fest that being on that site sucks even harder than wading through the dogshit on linked in.

Here's your average glassdoor post:

  Weh! Weh weh weh weh weh! Mih mih mih! Boo hoo! Poopy!

Besides, every one knows that a good PR department will just spam the living shit out of a site like that, and bury negative posts. It's glassdoor's entire business model. And that's certainly something any a-list website can afford to do. All it costs is a handlful for copy editors and some thirdworld developer salaries.

It does look a little strange that there are entries actually missing though - that's quite different to being buried.

Glassdoor removes negative reviews if you advertise with them. Also if you know the right people who work there (source: my current bosses friend from college works there, and he was bragging to me about how he got them to pull all our negative reviews. One of which I wrote).

>Glassdoor removes negative reviews if you ~~advertise with~~ bribe them.

Six of one, half a dozen of another.
