Minpunten
I worked at Ascend for about two years. The CEO personally asked me (and others) to post fake, positive Glassdoor reviews. I left for this and many other ethical reasons outlined in previous reviews. Narcissism, sexism, racism, verbal abuse, and abhorrent moral standards are ingrained in the company culture because they come from the top. In writing the fake reviews, the CEO told us to use language that wasn't too professional and to include spelling errors so that people would think the reviews were "created by an analyst and not a member of leadership" as if analysts didn't have a fourth grade spelling competency. I would say 95% of the positive reviews for this company were created by the CEO or by others following his direction. If you look closely many of the positive reviews use the same language which is basically a reiteration of words from the mission statement - "dynamic," "better models, better decisions." It's glaringly transparent.
