Good idea @gregsonelliott. Given web anonymity opens the gates for potential abuse, have you had any incidents yet?

@rueter Thank you! We've been lucky that the abuse, trolling, flaming has been minimal. We have a focus on current employees or organizations, so only those who currently work at a company can offer feedback. We feel this gives a bit of credibility and self moderation.

Do employees have to register with their company email? If so, how do you ensure the comments/suggestions are anonymous?

@attackofthetext Hi, thanks for the question! Yes, to ensure an employee is an active member of an organization they must register with their company email. The email address is never displayed to any other user on the platform, and any feedback submitted is not traceable back to the user email account. Anonymity is a key to our platform, we share our Anonymity pledge with all of our users: "OpenCompany is designed to offer employees a safe place to provide constructive feedback on their organization without the fear of repercussions, judgement or ridicule. We pride ourselves on creating a place where everyone can be heard. We are committed to protecting our users anonymity, it is an integral part of our service offering, therefore, we will never disclose identifying information on any Voices posts or survey’s answered to your employer without your express permission."

@kinski80 Yikes! That's not good, we've reported the site as a false positive, and can ensure you all is safe :)

Hey Greg! This reminds me of this simple app I built while learning Rails. http://github.com/nshntarora/Ope... When I ran around showing this to people (like any beginner would), they said, initially people will play fair. They'll try and see the extent of anonymity, how much can they say till it affects them. Once they trust the anonymity factor enough, they'll start messing around. This is when maximum abuse takes place. Case in point, YikYak and Secret. So, what are your plans to control abuse in the longer run?

@nshntarora Thanks for sharing. Yes, abuse is a factor any anonymous platform needs to consider. We have a number of mechanisms in place to control this - including community moderation, and the ability to escalate or remove non constructive feedback. Thanks for the interest!

Anonymous feedback doesn't quite bore well with the open company narrative. Curious to know your thoughts/findings around feedback that isn't anonymous

Great idea, and actually something I personally wanted for our company. There is just not enough information about the product for managers. Like for example, no way to see the actual experience or even pricing without signing up.
