Have you ever faced this situation when scouting out a potential employer or while simply checking out the sentiment at your current place?

Glassdoor Google

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.

Pop up element 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:

display: none

Step 2: Restore the scroll
