The pharma company was successful because they were transparent with their employees- recoginizing their faults and adressing them. So, yes, its a great idea to be transparent!

I really like the angle of "exposing the truth." I think there are companies who do this incredibly well, and those who are horrible at it. The benefits of being transparent are immense. The closer your company can get to the customer, the better off you'll both be. Social media is definitely a major step toward becoming more transparent.
