sasCommunity Forum : Suggestions for Forums and Categories : Forum category to discuss contractor/consultant issuesBy Suresh rajagopal on Wed Aug 08, 2007 8:46 pm
In todays world as the new areas of research grow job opportunities also grow. So do the consulting and other types of employing companies. I would like to request for a forum category that help discuss and make aware of employment seekers to about the practices of consulting companies. This will surely try to help new as well as existing consultants to find a right consulting comapny to further their career without falling in a trap of exploiting consulting companies.
Thanks,
Suresh

After reading your article "Beware of Laxai Consulting" (article has in the meantime been removed, see post below) I can understand where this request is coming from.
However ... IMHO you should be careful with pages/categories in which people can vent their feelings about a company.
I believe this could quite easily get ugly and result in mud slinging.
There is a danger that people will vent their frustration and loose objectivity because of dissatisfaction on how they have been treated.
NOTE: Please understand that I am NOT indicating the referenced article is not true. Just indicating that such pages have a potential danger in them.
I don't know to what extend it is possible, but it might be worthwhile to have articles in this area approved or confirmed before they are released to the public.

If someone would like to think more deeply about how such a review forum might work, we would certainly consider creating it. There should be some guidelines about what might be appropriate in such a review. I would think that it would also be mandatory to let the company being reviewed to reply before the review was posted.
