Paul Mansour, an Austin-based entrepreneur and 2004 graduate of UT-Austin, e-mailed me last week to let me know about a new Web site he’s launched: JobBite.com.
The site lets workers rate their companies and anyone can read the reviews for free.
According to Paul:
It is not a place to dish out dirt but rather a place for professionals to give honest feedback on things such as compensation and company culture. JobBite puts the power back in the hands of job seekers.
The site shows its youth, with a fairly small pool as yet of employer evaluations.
But there are some interesting tidbits.
For example, from an employee review of Plano-based Electronic Data Systems Corp.:
Dress code is casual, hours are flexible, and diversity is welcome. EDS works with many large enterprises so there are some very diverse work opportunities. You really have a chance to develop your skills and tackle challenging IT issues.
There are some really great technical opportunities at EDS but opportunities for promotion are limited. Most of your development and learning will occur from lateral moves. Pay raises are rare.
Looks like JobBite could be a useful took for jobseekers.
