Thanks and agree!

Thanks! Great feedback and ideas.

Thanks for the feedback. So far the questions are mostly about what it's like to apply, interview, and work at a company. We'll let companies answer what they want to. The purpose is to make information about jobs more transparent. There are numerous questions that could help a job seeker / candidate (and thus an employer) that aren't harmful to anyone. Maybe they'll answer those, we'll see.

First off I love this site, wow what a great idea!

I think a solution to the concern is to allow employers to mark harmful information and for that information to be removed. I know that then the employers could attempt to remove bad reviews, but this is where you'd need human interaction at some level.

Give employers 5 strikes, if they attempt to take down something defaming just because it's a bad review that's a strike. If they get to 5 they can't make a request for a set time frame (to keep the amount of human intervention to a minimum). The reverse could be true of your anonymous users. The 5 strikes is arbitrary.

Focus is a big part along with trying to get the company buy in to using it as a tool for their benefit. Building the product around helping people find info about jobs or careers will change some aspects of the architecture and layout.

Auth with a social account (Linkedin or Facebook) or verifying via their company email.

Thanks for sharing. We didn't know about Aaron's project, but it definitely resonates. We definitely agree with you here --> "Information I should had well before I ever applied". Hopefully companies / their employees will answer the questions!

Thanks for asking. We're going to pool the questions together and send them over to the company and let them know they can answer them (publicly) on an interface we built for them. If someone has cced an employee, we'll put them on the email. We'll probably send to HR or the founder(s), depending on how big the company is. We're not sure yet how companies will respond.

I am pretty sure that you are just going to get filtered PR bullshit responses. Unicorns and rainbows.

Get some actual off the record/anonymous answers and then things might get interesting.

Agree!

It's a good question. We think there a lot of questions with answers that are beneficial to both sides. Perhaps some companies won't filter their employees - we're not sure. We might break out a section that allows employees to review or answer questions anonymously.

Hopefully these companies would be willing to answer questions publicly for everyone to benefit (= our goal)!
