Should I join a company if its reviews on glassdoor etc are not very good?
I am offered a job from the company as a web developer in UAE. I just went on to the glassdoor and read reviews, the majority of reviews were not very good and some were outrageous to an extent accusing them of non-professionalism and discrimination.
The company is multinational and got this opportunity after hard work.
Now I am confused.

As with any review site, you're going to experience bad reviews from disgruntled employees/customers.
All you can really do is take a balanced view of what the reviews are actually saying (and judging the mood/motives of the reviewer) and go from there.
Don't forget that you can raise the issue of these bad reviews in your interview and ask what the employer is doing to address those concerns (or whether they have any sensible rebuttal to them).
