Maybe your team or dept was good and some others are bad. Glassdoor is certainly not the final word, but it can give you clues as to what to ask your interviewer. | |

| Jun 20, 2013 at 23:50 | comment | added | modest | Assuming it is a small company (judging by the # of reviews)...Be aware that sometimes things might be not be good in reality at the company you are interviewing at but the supervisors and managers themselves will put "fake" reviews mentioning how awesome is the work environment. Exactly opposite of your question "How should I trust if the good reviews that are posted on glassdoor are really "true"? As others suggested use the interview opportunity to gauge the situation. | |
