+1. Censoring opinion does no one any good. I'm with Noufal and Roshan on this thread.

Public criticism can help companies get unstuck *really fast*, as I learnt about Y! last month in a separate incident. If, as in this case, any company wants to use a public resource to recruit, they should also be willing to explain why they are a good place to work. This is a fair expectation for their use of the resource. Instead, there's only been objection to criticism, which makes the company look all the worse.
