How's it out there?

A novel concept I came across recently was an internet forum where you could talk about, rate, rant, rave & review your workplace. Criticat & Glassdoor are trying to reveal the truth behind companies where anyone can talk about their experience with a certain company.

I've come across user-review sites for electronic gadgets, cars, bikes, books, so why not your workplace?

What is questionable though is the accuracy of the information on these sites. But then, as with any other site which is dependent on its users for content, the quality & the utility of the information on these sites will improve as the user base grows over time.

Full marks for the idea though.
