Posting about a Negative Summer Experience

WSO-

Would you advise posting about a negative summer experience?

With a reasonable comp from the prior summer, I found my expectations about the internship were completely off-base in terms of culture, work, hours, and overall learning opportunity. If I had an accurate understanding, I do not believe I would have signed an offer. I feel an obligation to be honest but am simply grateful to have a different full-time opportunity.

Currently, undergraduates are reaching out to ask about my experience and informing me of what they believe the opportunity will look like. For example, they were told a 50-70 hour work week when most of my weeks were north of 100.

With this understanding, would you recommend posting anonymously about my experience on this site?
