BLIND - The Anonymous Social App for Tech Workers
CNN describes our app well: “Blind is an anonymous app for tech workers to discuss, debate and gossip about compensation, corporate policies, workplace harassment, and more.” Blind, which was once banned by Uber, is now used by 7,000+ Uber engineers, designers, and PMs. If you work in tech, your coworkers are on Blind. Download the app and join your coworkers today at TeamBlind.com!
