Why did they
leave?

Former employees tell us why they left — and what might have kept them. Search a company to see the pattern.

82 companies are ready. No one has shared a story yet — yours would be the first.

Yes
I enjoyed most of my time there, but after several years I could not see a realistic path to the next level, and the people who could have changed that had stopped answering the question.

We publish the pattern, not the person. Details are widened until they describe many people rather than one — more so at small companies.

What we collect

Structured reasons, not ratings

No star scores. One main reason, up to three others, and what might have changed your mind — so the answers can be counted.

How we protect you

Anonymous, then generalised

No account, no name, no email. Before publishing we widen anything that could point to one person, and you see exactly how your card will read.

What we refuse

No company can buy a takedown

Employers cannot pay to remove stories, and never learn who wrote one. Positive exits matter as much as difficult ones.

Left an IT company in the last few years?

It takes about a minute. The written part is optional — the structured answers are what make the data useful.
