Should I give interview in a company with bad online reviews?

[Anonymous]

It has an average of 3 rating on Google reviews with many calling it fraud and other websites I checked it has like 3.6 and 4.2 ratings. These people called me 2-3 times for the interview it's tomorrow. The only reason I'm asking this question is cause it's near my house and I prefer less traveling time.

So I gave the interview and during it a guy came yelling in the next cabin and had an argument (very loudly) for like 1 hour regarding his salary and work timings. He was saying you pay me on your own terms and make me work on your own terms and he was not willing to lower his voice or shut the cabin door where the argument was taking place.

I look at online reviews with a skeptical eye. Most people who have positive things to say about a company never take the time to go online and write one. The complainers often make outrageous remarks. Things may look differently as an inside employee. Go for the interview, ask questions, and judge for yourself - don't let the keyboard commandos influence your decision.

Just know online reviews can be fake reviews left by a disgruntled worker or someone who got burned by an employee because they got rejected when that worker didn't want to be with them.

The same thing with positive reviews. I saw with one company in particular that the owner had her family and friends and even her own husband leave positive reviews for the company and that company has a 4 star review rating but the reviews are fake. I personally never trust online reviews

The review appear to be legit after reading your update. Wow the company should be reported for being dodgy

Lol the said they would let me know by Friday regarding the interview.

I wouldn't waste my time with them unless you are desperate and needing the job

I'd imagine it'd depend on how bad you need the job.

I wouldn’t if they have bad reviews.
