Methodology
How Revquix company data is collected and checked
Revquix company pages are built from interviews, salaries and reviews shared by candidates and employees, each read by a moderator before it is published, shown only above a minimum count, and never shown with the author's name.
AI writes short summaries from published reports only, and every summary is labelled. The counts, averages and ranges on the pages are computed by Revquix, not generated.
Sources
Where the data comes from
Shared by people
Interview experiences, the questions asked, salaries and reviews are shared by people who interviewed or worked at the company. They sign in to share, so each person can edit or withdraw what they wrote and rate a company once a year.
Company facts, sourced
Headquarters, size, industry and founding year come from Wikidata and the company's own website. Each fact is stored with its source, and an admin accepts it before it is shown.
Minimum counts
Nothing is shown below a floor
A page or a figure appears only when enough people have contributed to it. Below a floor a page can still list what it has, but it is not offered to search engines, and figures that could identify someone are not shown at all.
| What | Shown when | Search and display |
|---|---|---|
| A company page | Verified by Revquix | Indexed at 5 published contributions |
| Interviews for a company | 1 published interview | Indexed at 3 |
| Interviews for one role | 1 published interview | Indexed at 3 |
| One interview experience | Approved by a moderator | Indexed at 120 words and 1 question |
| All of a company's questions | 1 reported question | Indexed at 8 |
| Questions on a topic | 1 reported question | Indexed at 8 |
| Questions for one experience level | 1 reported question | Indexed at 8 questions from 3 interviews, if fewer than the company total |
| Questions on a topic at one level | 1 reported question | Indexed at 8 questions from 3 interviews, if fewer than the topic and the level |
| Questions for one role | 1 reported question | Indexed at 8 questions from 3 interviews, if fewer than the company total |
| A salary range | 5 salaries in that role, after outliers | Never shown below that |
| A company's average rating | 5 published reviews | Rating markup at 10 |
| The reviews page | 1 published review | Indexed at 10 |
| A review's job title or city | 3 reviews that share it | Shown as Employee otherwise |
| A review theme | 10 reviews, 3 mentions | Counted, not generated |
| An AI interview summary | 5 published interviews | Labelled AI, with its count |
| An AI review summary | 10 published reviews | Labelled AI, with its count |
| A Prep Pack | 3 interviews for the role, or 5 at the company | Private to the buyer |
Interview questions also have a page for each experience level (freshers, 1 to 3, 3 to 6, 6 to 10 and 10+ years, and every level above fresher together), for each topic at a level, and for each role. A level counts only questions from interviews shared at that level. One of these pages is offered to search engines only when it lists fewer questions than the page above it, so no two indexed pages carry the same list.
Anonymity
Anonymous by design
Anonymous by design. Your name and profile are never shown with what you share, and our moderators never see who wrote it. The link to your account is encrypted and is used only so you can edit or delete your post, and so each person rates a company once.
- A post stores no user id. The only link to an account is encrypted with a key that is not in the database.
- Pages show the month a post was published, never the day, and posts are published in batches.
- A review's job title or city appears only when 3 or more reviews share it.
- Personal details such as emails and phone numbers are removed before a post is stored.
Moderation
A person reads every post
What a moderator removes
- Personal information that could identify someone
- Names of individuals, such as a manager or recruiter
- Unverifiable allegations of wrongdoing
- Confidential material and spam
What stays
Criticism of the company. A low rating or a harsh review is never a reason to reject or remove a post. An AI check points the moderator at what to look at; it never approves or rejects anything itself.
Credits
What contributors earn, and when posts are held
A small, fixed reward
Contributors earn a small, fixed number of Revquix credits for any published contribution, whether the experience was good or bad: 3 for an interview, 2 for a review and 1 for a salary. Nothing is paid until a post is approved and published, and never more for a positive one.
Bursts are held
An unusual burst of contributions at one company is held for a person to review before anything from it is published. Moderators still read each post; the burst only waits until someone has looked at the pattern.
How AI is used
AI summarises, people decide
- Summaries read only approved, published reports, and appear only from 5 interviews or 10 reviews.
- Every summary is labelled AI, with the number of reports and the months it covers, both computed by Revquix.
- Any number in a summary must appear in the reports it read. A sentence with a number that does not is dropped.
- When a report is taken down, edited or withdrawn, the summary is hidden until it is written again without it.
- AI never writes an interview experience, a question, a salary or a review.
Summaries are marked as machine-written in the page's structured data too.
Takedowns
Every request is logged and answered
Anyone can report a post from its page. Requests from employers, individuals, courts and the police are logged with a deadline: 36 hours for a court or government order, 15 days otherwise. Each is decided with a written reason: removed, redacted or declined.
A decision never reveals who wrote a post. Browse the company pages to see the floors and labels in place.
Questions about company data
Where does Revquix company data come from?
Interview experiences, salaries and reviews are shared by people who interviewed or worked at the company. Company facts such as headquarters and size come from Wikidata and the company's own website, and a Revquix admin checks them before a company gets a page.
Can Revquix staff see who wrote a review?
Moderators never see who wrote anything. The link between a post and an account is encrypted and used only so the author can edit or delete it, and so each person rates a company once. Disclosure would need a court order and a separate, audited procedure.
Are negative reviews removed?
No. Criticism of a company stays up. A moderator removes personal details, names of individuals, unverifiable allegations of wrongdoing and confidential material. Being negative is never a reason to remove a post.
How are the AI summaries made?
An AI model reads only approved, published reports and writes a short summary. It is shown only once a company has 5 published interviews (or 10 reviews), it is labelled as AI, and any number in it must appear in the reports it read. The count and dates beside it are computed by Revquix.
Why can I not see a salary for my role?
A salary range appears only when 5 or more people shared a salary for that role, after unusual values are left out. Below that nothing is shown, not even a count, so no one's pay can be worked out.
How do I ask for a post to be taken down?
Report it from its page, or contact Revquix. Every request is logged with its deadline and decided with a written reason. A post that breaks the guidelines is redacted or removed; one that only expresses an opinion stays up.
Do people get paid to share?
Contributors earn a small, fixed number of Revquix credits for any published contribution, whether the experience was good or bad: 3 for an interview, 2 for a review and 1 for a salary. Nothing is paid until a moderator has approved it and it is published, and an unusual burst of contributions at one company is held for a person to review first.
How are the experience level pages counted?
Candidates choose their experience when they share an interview: fresher, 1 to 3, 3 to 6, 6 to 10 or 10+ years. A level's page counts the questions from interviews at that level, and a question reported on its own has no level. A level, a topic at one level or a role is offered to search engines only from 8 questions across 3 interviews, and only when it lists fewer questions than the page above it, so no two indexed pages show the same list.
What is a Prep Pack?
A paid plan for one company and role, built from published interview reports: the process, a round-by-round guide, the topics asked most, a practice list and mentors who worked there. It is private to the person who bought it.
