Don't trust the star rating! - Avis employé Project Manager Woolpert

Before June 2024, there were an average of 2 to 4 reviews per month on Glassdoor, with a wide range of ratings, and more 1-star reviews than 5-star reviews. However, since the beginning of June, there have been over 100 5-star reviews, many of which are generic and do not include a job title. It seems very suspicious that the number of reviews has suddenly increased from 3 to 30 reviews per month, which is more than some publicly traded firms. It is highly doubtful that 5% of the company suddenly submitted unsolicited 5-star reviews on Glassdoor at the same time. The company's culture has taken a negative turn, and operations are borderline dysfunctional. Middle management views people as expendable resources rather than valuable assets and treats them accordingly. The new accounting system is a disaster, but leadership refuses to take responsibility or even acknowledge the negative impacts it has on profits and employee well-being.
