TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
While not a direct answer to the poster's question, I have found
LinkedIn.com to be an excellent resource for finding information about
companies. I often find that I know someone directly or indirectly at a
company and have used those contacts to help make decisions about
whether or not to consider applying there.
My 2¢,
