Press Release: Blind Launches "Pulse" making company culture accessible to everyone

“I’m so excited to answer the employee survey!” said no one. Ever.

Each year companies roll out an “employee engagement” survey that is time-consuming and a bridge to nowhere. Currently, internal engagement surveys are administered by your employer, for your employer, and live within your employer’s walls. You don’t get any insight into how you and your peers responded. Company surveys should be entirely anonymous, free of repercussions, and the results should be shared transparently with everyone to see.

With 4.1M work-email verified professionals already having anonymous discussions on its platform, Blind launched a new Pulse feature. Pulse collects real-time employee survey responses and anonymously displays them for all members. With Pulse, you can now see how your peers genuinely feel about your company and how other professionals feel about theirs. 

To gain access to the results and sentiments across all companies, you first need to share yours by completing a simple questionnaire. The questionnaire asks you to give your honest ratings on your company, leadership, work-life balance, compensation, and more. Scores will be given to each company based on its employee response (out of 100) and updated in real-time as more responses come in. 

Suppose you are curious about how employees working at FAANG really feel? Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google are considered the top tier companies by many engineers on Blind. Although all five companies are prestigious, is one superior to the other? With Pulse results, we’ve compared FAANG companies to see who is most liked by its employees. 

Netflix came on top, outperforming others on ALL rankings.

• 67% of Netflix employees said they would recommend their company as a great place to work
• 65% said they have confidence in their leaders at Netflix, and 74% are motivated by their leaders’ vision.

Blind believes that a company’s culture should be accessible to the public- and told from the employee’s perspective. Access to employee engagement survey results is vital for empowering all professionals to mobilize their careers. 

Now suppose you are interviewing, and your eyes are peeled for potential red flags. The last thing you want to do is start a shiny new job only to find out that the culture isn’t inclusive — so you go to Pulse and get access to the company’s culture from the current employees, not from your hiring manager’s.  Sometimes when interviewing, you can be too focused on how you’re going to respond and forget which culture-related questions you wanted to ask. With Pulse- the moment to get those answers have never passed. You don’t need to work for a company for a month only to discover that the role or the company is not what was sold to you. Pulse is more than an ideological belief system- it is a solution for anyone who has ever had a job.
