You can do this, but you'd be much better off finding a common connection, perhaps through LinkedIn. No company is perfect, but someone who knows you only through a cold email would be a fool to trust you with criticism of his employer. I'm not sure why you think that your personal site proves that you're "worth responding to." The problem with your post is that it's all about you - you're not thinking of what's in it for the recipient of your email, or what risks it poses for them. |

The link to my personal site has the role of a resume -- it is to show that I'm not sure random person off the street, I am someone who may well be worth recruiting.
The idea is that the contact will see that a serious, experienced, front-end designer/developer just made contact and may well want to pitch their company to me.
I'm not looking for them to slag off their company, of course.
I am fine being pitched to, but I'd prefer that a fellow developer does this.
