Have you ever faced this situation when scouting out a potential employer or while simply checking out the sentiment at your current place?
How terribly inconvenient! Well, thankfully there are ways around it. Glassdoor ships the entire content to the browser before blocking the content for users to look at. There are 2 main steps in order to get rid of this pop up. First remove the pop up and next, restore the scroll feature.
Step 1: Remove the pop up
In order to remove the pop up. Hover over the pop up and right click and choose inspect.
This clunky looking menu thing should now appear. Click on the line with the words: “hardsellOverlay” and press the delete button.
For a more programmer friendly way to do this. Simply add a display: none tag to the div as follows:
Step 2: Restore the scroll
The scroll is usually locked by limiting the height of the page (even though the page is actually longer that what is shown).
Scroll up on the little window on the top right. Ironic isn’t it? Scrolling to restore the scroll. Head over to the body element and double click it. Then select the styles tab. Uncheck the buttons for overflow and position, and the page should be plenty scrollable.
Have fun scrolling through glassdoor!
