The effects of big layoffs on a company’s Glassdoor ratings can linger for years

Massive layoffs at major companies like Amazon, Meta, and Oracle have left a lasting impact on their Glassdoor ratings, according to recent data from Glassdoor. Even years after the layoffs, the reputation of these firms on the review platform remains tarnished, with nearly 40% of surveyed U.S. professionals still feeling the effects in 2026. This suggests that such workforce reductions can have prolonged negative repercussions on a company's perceived culture and stability, influencing potential hires' perceptions for years to come.
