Writing a company review

For talents and shepherdsUpdated 30 Sep 2026

Rate a company, say how you know it and share what it's really like, anonymously if you prefer.

Worked at a company, interviewed there or had a coffee chat with someone inside? A short, honest review helps the next person decide.

Writing your review

  1. Step 1: Open the company and scroll to its reviews. Press Write a review (or Write the first review if nobody has yet).
  2. Step 2: Tap a star under Your rating, from 1 (Poor) to 5 (Excellent).
  3. Step 3: Under How do you know the company, choose I work there now, I used to work there, I interviewed there, I had a KoffeeChat with someone there or I'm researching them.
  4. Step 4: Write a Headline that sums it up, up to 100 characters.
  5. Step 5: Add Your review (optional), up to 1,500 characters, on what it's like to work at, interview with or learn from them.
  6. Step 6: Choose whether to Post anonymously, then press Post review.

Posting anonymously

  • Post anonymously is on by default. Your review is signed "A talent" or "A shepherd", and your name stays private.
  • If you work there now or used to, an anonymous review is signed "A KoffeeChat member", with no talent or shepherd label, so you're harder to single out.
  • Switch it off to sign with your first name. The form shows exactly how your review will be signed before you post.

When it appears

New reviews go public in a daily batch within 3 days, so nobody can match a review to a visit. Until then, only you can see it, marked Your review · goes live within 3 days. Reviews are dated by month, never by day.

Keep it honest and fair

  • Write about your own experience.
  • Leave out names and anything confidential.
  • No false claims, harassment or threats, and no reviews in exchange for anything.
  • You can't review your own company: accounts on a company's team see a note instead of the button.

Our moderators can hide reviews that break these rules. Review guidelines
