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.

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.

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)!

Good feedback. The company will be involved too. We're going to pool the questions, send them to a bunch of employees (including HR) and the company can decide how and if it wants to answer. Agree on it can help recruiting, that's part of the goal!

Thanks, looking into it now

Thanks for the comment. The full product will make this more clear, but the idea is to allow anonymous questions and answers will be from real employees who show their names.

There might be a section later for (current or former) employees to review or answer questions about their company anonymously, but that'd be broken out.

We did. cc/ @anto215

Thanks! Making some of these changes now. We're working on the fly so we're not totally sure how companies will respond, but there is definitely demand from people with questions. The goal is to have employees answer with their real names so you can solve (a) & (b) above.

Thanks, looking into it (ff 19).

Incredible stat:

"Facebook is one of the greatest consumer Internet companies of our generation, but for the time being the company is trading at half its IPO price. Groupon and Zynga, also titans of the industry, have been in free-fall since their last earnings call, now down more than 80 percent from their peak. $76 billion in wealth disappeared from those three companies alone — enough to buy every home that sold in Silicon Valley this year nine times over."
