I think an ideal social norm would be only reviewing an organization after you are no longer working with them and thus can review the full experience.
This implies that a nontrivial fraction of employees would leave, which seems true of some EA orgs and not others (and I think the difference is non-random for pretty obvious reasons).
Yeah, I expect employees who leave to be a pretty biased sample, and the bias to have different strengths depending on the org.
Now, maybe that bias is weaker than the bias to try to make your own org look good. I’d be more optimistic about a central group sending a survey to a sample of employees and telling them to take it seriously for the benefit of the world. Probably reduces much of the bias of a CEO sending out a link in slack and asking everyone to review.
