Long story short, started work a week ago, in less than a week, got fired by company stating "No job fit." Countered HR and asked, "What fit is there to be found when the new hire is here for < a week." They couldn't retort, I couldn't be bothered since I thought it was a release, as long as they pay me, all is good. To be fair, not a Malaysian company.

See lots of friends and colleagues advising due-diligence on companies and suggested Glassdoor. Said company that fired me had really bad glassdoor scores and ex-companies claimed highly toxic culture that saw experienced/senior hires all leaving in a week, but I thought seeing is believing. Not to mention on certain Glassdoor accounts, employers create dummy accounts to boost their company ratings.

Has using glassdoor mostly been a hit-or-miss for you, especially with MY companies?

Note: Won't answer PMs regarding company's identity. Happy to put it behind.
