Community Guidelines
1. Be Respectful
Discussions should focus on workplace policies, practices, and culture — not personal attacks. Do not name and shame individual coworkers, managers, or HR staff by name in a way intended to harass or target them.
2. This Is Not a Platform to "Bring Down" Companies
CompanyRef exists to help people make informed decisions, not to organise campaigns against organisations. Posts whose primary purpose is to incite action against a company, rather than to share an experience, may be removed.
3. Share Honest, First-Hand Experiences
Speak from your own experience. Avoid spreading rumours you can't speak to directly. If you're sharing something you heard secondhand, say so clearly.
4. No Defamatory or Unverifiable Claims
Avoid stating unverifiable claims as fact, especially serious allegations. Where possible, frame personal experiences as personal experiences ("In my time there, I found...") rather than universal claims about the organisation.
5. Protect Personal Information
Do not post personal contact details, ID numbers, salary slips with identifying information, or other private data — your own or anyone else's.
6. Never Pay for Anything
CompanyRef does not charge for access to discussions, verification, or "premium reviews." If you encounter a post, message, or account claiming otherwise, report it.
7. Moderation
Posts can be reported by any member. Our moderation team reviews reports and may remove content, issue warnings, or restrict accounts that repeatedly violate these guidelines. Moderation decisions can be appealed via Contact.
Disclaimer: Every CompanyRef member is solely responsible for anything that he/she posts or comments on CompanyRef. CompanyRef does not verify the accuracy of user-generated content and accepts no liability for any post, comment, or discussion published on the platform.
