What We’re All About
Maven Net is a reference for all professionals who work as independent consultants in technical disciplines or are thinking of doing so.
It’s a site for professionals, by professionals.
Nowadays client companies and job agencies use the Internet and social networking sites to research a potential employee or consultant. They use this information to determine the suitability of that person.
On this basis it’s only fair for consultants to be able to do a background check on companies too. This also extends to managers and other consultants who you will be working for/with.
There are various “rate my boss” websites. However, they all seem to focus on permanent employment. In addition, they are mostly censored by legal requirements. Not here – you are free to say what you think.
