I also think it's important that we step back and understand what discrimenation is, because I would argue that lack of accessibility is not discrimenation based on how it was handled. For instance, did you specifically ask for an accommodation or propose solutions for said accommodation?

What I am trying to convey however, is the point that one company isn't going to make or break you, and you have a lot of tools in your toolbox before you shout discrimination from the rooftops, and you should make use of them. Beyond that, keep in mind your internet persona; your bad review on Linkedin isn't going to hurt a company that size; the only person that will be hurt as a result is you and only you, when future employers and/or recruiters find your Linkedin. DO not use it like yelp.
