Blind
An anonymous, work email verified community where compensation, levels, layoffs and internal conditions get discussed frankly. Valuable for the data and worth approaching with caution for everything else.

What it is
A professional community where accounts are verified against a work email address and then anonymised, which produces unusually candid discussion of compensation, levels, reorganisations and how a company is actually doing.
What it is genuinely good for
Offer benchmarking, level calibration, and finding out what a team is like before you join it. The compensation threads and the questions about a specific team frequently get answered by someone who works there.
The honest warning
The culture is competitive and often unpleasant, heavily weighted toward compensation as the only measure of a career, and prone to catastrophising. It is a useful data source and a poor place to form your view of the profession or your own progress. Take the numbers and leave.
Best for: verifying an offer and researching a specific team, in short visits.
