Wow. What a shitty company. Please don’t sue me for saying that.
LoanStreet will find out what the Streisand Effect is in 3, 2, 1…
No wonder they have 5.0 rating on blind
Well I know where I'll never apply
Now you know where to find engineer to hire easily for your team.
Donated to his gofund me
How did they know his identity on blind? I don’t think he was stupid enough to copy paste the reviews
The post had so much details and LS is a small start up. Easy to know especially when the case is so unique.
Had his last employer; current employer leave date, specifics about his team and codebase lol he didn't even try to anonymize
Did Blind remove the poster's review? They must have, because Loanstreet seems to have a 5.0 rating. Shame on Blind if so.

Why do most Israelis still think India is "dirty and disgusting"?
Absolutely insane, I hope that this lawsuit ends up being a massive waste of $. This is exactly why privacy and freedom of speech are so important.
