Having 1* Reviews Removed

Pros

None, they are unethical at the core

Cons

They are literally spending their time on Glassdoor having legitimate employee reviews that have worked directly for the company that are 1* removed to pad their image. They claim their moto is trust but intentionally change their narrative by doing this. They had at least 3 recent reviews removed, but many more had to be removed since no new reviews were added and they jumped up quite a bit in both overall stars and acceptance. They are unethical, untrustworthy, do not care about anything but lining their own pockets. Do no support them with your capabilities or your business.

Hi there, we want everyone to be able to share their feelings positive and negative. We don't flag reviews unless we think something in it is against the community guidelines of Glassdoor. We've reached out to Glassdoor support regarding review removal and below are the reasons they told us why a review may no longer be visible: 1. The member did not validate their account. We require email verification from a permanent, active email address or a valid social networking account for a user submitting content. 2. The member deleted their review. Glassdoor members have the ability to delete their contributions at any time. 3. The member has submitted another review for the same company before 364 days have passed. We publish the newest submissions only. 4. The review was removed by Glassdoor. Glassdoor periodically performs integrity checks on our data; or the data was flagged for review. When a review gets flagged, the Content & Community Team will re-evaluate the review to determine if it violates our Community Guidelines and remove if necessary. 5. The review is from a contractor, freelancer, or intern. If your company has more than 15 reviews, we default the view to filter out contractor, freelancer, and intern reviews. However, users are always able to view these reviews by simply selecting the appropriate filters.

Pros

Populus is great place for those in their early careers/wanting to get started in the corporate world and grow. You learn a ton here and there are great leaders that help train and develop. The culture is the reason everyone stays here, it’s flexible, easy going, open, honest, and has an “open door” policy that is actually practiced. I’ve seen multiple people start in one role and be promoted to another within the organization. In Covid no one was laid off so we were all able to keep our roles which was super valuable in an industry that was seeing massive lay offs. Perks are culture, flexibility, learning and growth, the people!

Cons

Compensation is the most talked about but also is getting fixed. The total package is worth it.
