| Jan 3, 2013 at 18:30 | comment | added | JNK | @sixlettervariables I partially agree you should be able to report. Honestly though I don't think it should be SE's job at all to police employers. There are a lot of other avenues for that which are more effective - fraudulent companies need to be reported to authorities, not just blacklisted from a website. | |

@JonH I'm not sure how you define legit though, and that's why it needs to be up to the employee looking for a job, NOT Careers 2.0. If an employer has had issues at an office that is now closed, is that enough to be excluded? How about if they have problems at international offices but not in the US? How about if they had legal issues that were resolved? Bankruptcy? BBB ratings?

| Jan 3, 2013 at 18:04 | comment | added | JonH | I dont see a flag to flag the employer, so it doesn't appear to be available. I do believe it is the ultimate decision of the employee to research this, however I don't agree that they should be burned through the process. Allowing this employer to post on here to me means stackexchange has verified this person as being legit. | |
