I also turned down the interview with TripAdvisor after reading several horrific reviews.

Three days later, the recruiter writes me asking me to get on the phone so she can help clear up any concerns.

So I took two screenshots of two of the worst reviews, I sent them as attachments and very politely and professionally explained that these negative reviews and toxic nature of the management, leadership and culture are enough of a deterrent to wanting to work there.

It actually feels refreshing and good to be able to be so honest and forthcoming about a toxic work environment - from the outset.
