Thanks for the info. I have a lot of venting to do!!

Most of the time you really need to talk candidly with one of the programmers already working there. If you don't know anybody at the company, that is not possible.

I am a programmer. There have been many times that I have accepted a job, only to find out too late that there the boss demands 10 hour work days, that you will have old outdated computers to work on, That the boss plays politics and will put you on written notice if he doesn't like you, There is no air conditioning, You will be on call 24/7,,, etc.. Wouldn't it be nice to have a website where you could search for your prospective employer, department and boss'es name and read all of the bad things about the place. These reviews would be written by people that are working there now or have worked there. Similar to the concept of "www.dontdatehimgirl.com"
