While people talk openly about the ills of their companies, how do you know that Blind isn't selling your information to those very companies? Companies would love to know who the bad apples are, those that are taking their money and bad mouthing them in public, so that they can be let go. Blind needs money - that's the only way they keep their lights on and improve their product. As far as I can tell, they don't have ads, and they aren't making much money with job postings (most people go to LinkedIn for jobs). Beware of what you post on here.

      Why risk your job doing such a thing? It's not like your company will change - it's most likely you'll be let go, unless you are critical to the company.

      Risk my job? My team took jabs at Amazon during lunch and happy hour.

    If such scheme ever gets uncovered, it would be disastrous for the company in the first place. No one serious about their business will take such risks.

      No one cares about anonymous shit talk. What companies really care about are public, high-profile firings that can be construed as politically motivated.

      Not about firings - shit talk won't get you your next job, if the company knows you talk shit about employers in public.

    You’re close but off base. Blind has two value propositions to HR. First is Talent by Blind.

    Second is the feedback on your company is candid, unlike the employee survey. But it’s on aggregate so you remain anonymous and protected (unless you break the law, in which case you deserve getting caught).

    Will they sell out Jimmy because he said something mean about Amazon? No because that’d be like chopping down an apple tree for lumber. You’d lose the sustaining product.

    Who knows? The HR guys themselves might be bad mouthing here too. Who says the HR guys are always happy at their work??

      Come on op.. they have much better things to do at work. If a company really tries to control their reputation this way, you are better off to be fired from that company and find a descent company.

      It's not about them controlling their reputation. It is more about them finding people who aren't great performers (most of us here, including myself, are not indispensable) and who are trashing the company anyways, and letting them go.
