Question: During my job search, I found [Glassdoor](http://www.glassdoor.com) to be a very useful tool for getting to know about the companies I was searching for. I'd like to give back to that and submit my own reviews to help others. 

However, my most recent job is at a small company. Currently the company's listing on Glassdoor has only one review (a glowing description of the company by someone with a "manager" position, which only one person in this area has). If I were to give a review, the company would instantly know who I am based on my position and location.

If I choose to give a negative or neutral review, I'm sure they wouldn't like knowing that I wrote it. If the review were 100% glowing, the company probably wouldn't care. However, Glassdoor does have a goal of hosting anonymous reviews, so positive or negative, it does seem to go against the spirit of the site. Plus, I'd like to avoid any self-censorship from knowing that I can be identified.

How can I go about leaving an anonymous review (what Glassdoor is intended for) when the company is so small that they will know it is me?

Answer: 
First of all, I smell its going to be a bad one.

If you are so sure of being identified, and your review may hurt you within the company, I would suggest avoiding that. Anyway, all job seekers don't take reviews to their heart and are not strict believers, it is just taken as a suggestion.

If the review is a positive one, or neutral even, then getting identified is not bad at all, isn't it?

**Based on new edits to the question:**

If you want to follow the spirit, there are a few things you can do.

1. Just hide one of your location or job title. This is possible on glassdoor if this will make identifying you difficult.

2. You can post totally an anonymous response as well without going through a self censorship policy of yours.

With these options available, I think you can achieve what you are seeking.
If you are going to stay more in that company, **never ever leave negative feedback**. Full stop. This will only go against you. Even if you are not the **single** employee in that position, reducing the chances to two or three people is too risky.

You might be recognized as the author even in the future. For example if for whatever reason you *unwillingly* show you know Glassdoor more than your coworkers.

Legally
-------

Your boss may or may not do anything to you. In my country he may fire you without a valid reason if total employees are < 15. Otherwise the company is not enough "small", but there could always be ways for premature termination.

Practically
-----------

You might be subject to mobbing/stalking. That is a crime under several regulations but is extremely hard to prove.

Examples of mobbing are under-assignements, or under-qualification of assignements. It is difficult to prove that such behaviour originates from an harassment.

If you are going to leave your company, you can honestly write whatever you deem useful. Please, for respect of the others before the law, don't exagerate or say false. Defamation is a crime for a reason. Be objective, keep proof for yourself, use facts
