Revyr is a workplace review site were you can search for data on different companies, and leave reviews of your own

What's Company About:

Revyr is a workplace review site were you can search for data on different companies, and leave reviews of your own.
How It Works:
Revyr wants to be a place where you go to find information on a company you may want to work for. So in leaving a company review (which is anonymous), you enter a fair amount of data regarding your experience at the company, from your tenure, age, commute time, pay, and several other rating scales to indicate the company’s culture and such. This data is collected from users in order to provide feedback for those searching for information on a particular compan.
You can read individual reviews and see the overall ranking of various companies. You can also chart different aspects of company life, such as benefits and pay, in a comparative manner, which supports up to 5 companies at a time. Revyr also features a job search, and a personal dashboard where you can mark up to 5 favorite companies that Revyr will track, and a section for recommendations.
How Far It Will Go:
As all the data provided by Revyr is user-generated, there is a large opportunity for information to become skewed, and the system to be gamed. There doesn’t seem to be any way to confirm a user’s employment status or company. The graphical data could probably stand some outside influence, so that graphs can be based on hard facts and not solely from user-submitted content. The job search tool seems rather lightweight as well, and could stand to offer some personalization tools that are tied in with the user recommendations, reviews and tracked favorites. PayScale is another workplace comparative tool.
