Some are much more capable of disguising it during the interview process.

In the tech industry around the pandemic there was the great resignation and companies were tripping over themselves to employ as many people as possible. It was great then because you had so many options and they were all seemingly similar job descriptions.

Now the site is shitty and getting a job is terrible. Woo capitalism!

Frankly I never trusted Glassdoor. I assume most reviews are made by the companies HR department to lie about how great it is. I just need to look at the reviews of the companies I've worked for to see that it's 99% bullshit.

Don't trust employers. They lie to you and underpay you.

That's why you only read the negative reviews

There was one place a friend worked where all the glassdoor reviews said there were "growing pains". I don't think that many normal people who have intact souls would describe startup dysfunction as "growing pains."
