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?

It's not clear what your motivation for leaving a review might be, and clearly you don't want to leave a positive review, but there are several possibilities here.

1. Leave a review anyway. Pour your heart out, assuming all the while that your employer will read the review and know that it is you. Be prepared to have a conversation with your employer should they choose to question you about your statements.
2. Anonymize your review. Remove anything that would specifically tell the reader that it was you who wrote it. Don't include your title, or salary, your location, or any other identifiable data. If necessary, put in false information for those fields, as they likely add nothing to your narrative anyway. Then, if your employer reads it and asks the entire company who wrote it, don't confess. And if asked specifically if you wrote it, lie and say "No".
3. Wait until you leave the company sometime down the road. Then write your review.
4. Don't write a review. Skip your desire to write about this company.
Leaving a review about the company on Glassdoor.com has two purposes:

1. You want your concerns to be addressed, a lot of genuine employers do attend to employees' (ex or current) concerns if any...
2. Your review helps other job seekers get a fair view on choosing this specific employer as a next stop in their career...

Give it a thought! Considering you are skeptical about leaving a review, shows that you are not going to write something that they will be happy about. And you did mention you are okie if they know its you. As far as I know, Glassdoor doesn't allow Employers to censor any review posted on their page but give them the option to respond. You need to be careful there what you post. 

Based on in what terms you parted ways, they either should come back to you and address the concern or if they don't the review will anyways be beneficial for other job seekers. Basically what am suggesting is that there is no need to hide yourself. 

But if you still want to leave a review and don't want them to know it was you, a good way is to confuse them by putting things in a different perspective, so that they don't realize it is you but you still get your review out there.
