Can Glassdoor take down reviews?
You can’t pay us to take down reviews and we apply the same content moderation rules to our clients that we use for everyone else. Our members self-certify their relationship with their employer. We remove reviews when we find evidence of abuse of our “one review, per company worked at, per year” policy.

So this means you can’t describe non-C-Suite persons without naming them either.
