This site has been around for quite some time, and has the same
limitations of any online reputation ranking service: only those with
strong opinions (up or down) tend to take the time to submit a rating,
thus it can be skewed. I'd be surprised (and fight against) any
department actually using it as part of tenure/performance review.
