I think they are. I've noticed that negative ones get deleted too. Has anyone else noticed this?

Go read the reviews on Comparably.com. It looks to be the most truthful ratings list available. Ameren seems to manage and scrub negative reviews on Glassdoor. That says all it needs to about the company. No integrity in the slightest.
Anyone who has worked for Ameren (or any company) knows that everything is never always wonderful. Ameren pays well but it is a company that has issues. The growing reviews in Glassdoor and other sites frequently seem artificial as they almost never contain the kind of detail that make me believe that they actually worked there. When I worked from Ameren the company was so rife with nepotism that it was not at all unusual to work with someone who had three, or even four family members working for the company and second generation was almost the norm.
Just read through a few pages of reviews. The fake positive reviews are obvious. They seem to be done in a hurry and are very short. Just a few words at most. If it's really such a great place, wouldn't you want to put in all of the details as to why? Indeed is where I go to read reviews. There seems to be a lot more detail and honesty there and I don't see where the company is monitoring those.
I’ve noticed it. I’ve also noticed a lot of positive reviews for a particular work area right as jobs get posted for hire. From the looks of it, they’re getting ready to hire project managers somewhere in the company. There seems to be several recent positive reviews for that job on Glassdoor.
I hear Glassdoor approaches company for $ to erase bad reviews. An HR friend told me that happened to them but they turned down the Glassdoor proposal. Regardless, HR and management now floods fake positive reviews into Glassdoor to "bury" the bad ones. You will notice the trend of a bad review followed by a bunch of fake positive reviews in same or few days after the bad review posted. Happens most frequently in toxic work environment. Just seeing the trend of 1 bad review followed by a bunch of positive ones (tend to come with a bunch of exclamation marks with over-enthusiastic positive comments) will tell you how toxic the company is.
