Sign up with your work email to get the most out of Blind! Protecting your anonymity is our top priority. We use work email addresses to verify your current place of work but your personal information is not collected and emails are not stored. Thereby providing you a secure platform to communicate with coworkers and fellow professionals.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our patented infrastructure (Patent no. 10-2013-******) makes sure that all user account and activity information is completely disconnected from the encrypted email verification process. This means we are unable to retrieve forgotten passwords. You must create a new account with work email to re-access Blind.

No work email? No problem!
Sign up with your personal email, and you’ll get view-only access to limited contents. To participate in more insightful conversations, you will need to verify with a work email.

Ratings and reviews

From a purely technical perspective, the app's good but has annoying bugs. For example, repeated comments show up while scrolling within a question (exact repeats of the same responses). This has been a consistent issue for months now. Content moderation is also practically non-existent and depends entirely on reports made by users. Posts on the app get seriously vitriolic and racist in the past 6 months or so. Some basic content rules, even keyword based filtering, might be a basic start.

Great App with a lot of the same content posted by different people. Every thread that is opened, folks ask for TC (total comp). Instead, if the app asked for it as an optional item while posting the thread, it would save everyone some time. When you click on a link to an external page, it posts the message 'Unable to access blind network at the moment'. Reddit for example does not do the same.

Overall, great concept. True anonymity is its largest value proposition to end users, particularly post-Glassdoor going full FUBAR. Rec.: Blind is primarily geared towards serving the tech sector. However, it's overwhelmingly dominated by & focused on the SD/R&D element, with not much focus in attracting employees on the Ops/Fin/GTM/Non-Tech side. Though there are no true barriers, would recommend expanding focus to attract these people as they are a significant portion of the industry.
