I really appreciate you all for taking time to visit JobGypsy.com and post your comments. I thought of taking this opportunities to answer some of those. Renuka, After visiting amoungus.com, I feel they and JobGypsy are a bit different in approach and concept. Amoungus is facilitating discussion amoung employees for subject of their choice, while JobGypsy is intended in giving people an insight of organization on pre-defined parameters. Harshal, our service policy clearly states that jobGypsy is not responsible for any of reviews - they are opinions of the people writing those reviews. We do perform checks to remove abuses and encourage reviews that give more of a balanced views about the organizations. We are regularly reviewing our service policy to be out of any lawsuits. Your inputs would probably be a good learning for us. You may contact me at swapnil[at]jobgypsy.com Hi , this is Swapnil, co-founder of JobGypsy.com.

JobGypsy seems to be a similar & bigger and more general site. You have to be careful when you are having anonymous forums which give out opinions about companies people work for. If this site gets traction and companies find that they are being slandered with false information, be prepared for a lawsuit. I get around 3 Cease & Desist letters(legal threat to stop slandering immediately or we will file a lawsuit) within a span of a month for slandered opinions on Goolti.com and have also got a lawsuit slapped on me which I had to settle. But this is US and jobgypsy is focussed at India so things should not be that bad. However, if a co like Infy files a lawsuit against Jobgypsy, they will need to be ready to defend it. If anybody at Jobsypsy hasn't thought about this already - its time to do that before you are pulled down. I started Goolti.com with a focus for honest employee reviews.
