Recommend other possible companies to research based on other companies reviewed by the reviewer

@sarawr29 , as a user, we want to make sure we keep your information anonymous if so desired. It is possible that someone could deduce that if you reviewed company A and it says people also worked at company B, then they can know you worked at company B, given they know you work at company A. Would you see that as a problem?

Thanks for the feedback :+1:

As long as the access is restricted to just students, rather than the companies themselves, I don't think it is a problem to associate my name or information with my review. In fact, I think it would make it better since students could see how aligned they are with my line of work, major, ethics, and general profile. It's hard to believe a bad review from someone when you can't tell if they're level-headed or not, or how much experience they have. For example, Yelp shows top reviews from users that frequently submit reviews and tend to submit helpful material.
