Have you ever had a bad manager?

I have. I have also worked with exceptional bosses and coworkers—people I would gladly recommend to others considering working with them.

In the age of social media, conversations about work have become increasingly performative. For those navigating a job transition, the spotless narratives on LinkedIn and company campaigns often make it harder than ever to genuinely assess future coworkers and workplace dynamics.

Echo exists to change that.

Echo is an independently built platform dedicated to promoting transparency, authenticity, and trust in professional relationships. By enabling people to share their experiences working with specific coworkers, Echo offers a counterpoint to the asymmetry of workplace power, grounded in a belief in free expression and accountability.

It is developed and operated independently, unaffiliated with corporations. With full respect for privacy and truthfulness, each profile is verified using only publicly available information, most notably the LinkedIn profiles that people shared themselves.

I hope you find Echo helpful in your professional journey.
