MyDanwei - Organizations and Salaries

MyDanweiRecently, I came across MyDanwei, a site that compiles and provides information on people, salaries and organizations. Out of curiosity, I tried to see if they have data on salaries given by a few large and not-so-large companies. They had more than 2,000 Google salary records. For a very small company that I entered, I was surprised to find 1 record (I was expecting none).

Their "About Us" page defines the company as:

"MyDanwei, Inc. is a pioneer of developing the next generation organization, people, salary, and job information searching and data mining platforms. We are inspired to provide our users with easy and accurate information about a person or an organization, such as salary, education background, past employments, key employees, job positions, etc. Besides one of the most comprehensive databases with millions of records of organization, people, salary, and jobs, our website also features state-of-the-art user interface, where everyone can freely add, edit, discuss, tag, and rate all records about people and organizations around the globe."


MyDanwei is currently in beta. Not sure what their source or accuracy of their data is, but it still looks like a useful tool.
