A positive one isn't going to hurt you and a negative one, well heck you clearly don't want to match there anyways and unless you give specific experiences that isn't going to happen especially if the program has more than 3+ subis a year. Regardless, I just wish more people from previous years would give back and submit their reviews after the match.
Chances of matching at a sub-i program are higher than others. Hence if your do 2 to 3 sub-is you definitely want to have them as a possibility to match on your ROL. Let's face it, you will take the program that you had issues with over not matching. Submit after the match, but still with a lot of caution. Residents will remember sub-is and you may give yourself away by relating even a small detail. After all, you don't see anyone who is telling you to post here doing it themselves.
Also, people have vastly different experiences at a sub-i based on their own backgrounds, personalities, level of preparedness, work ethics, etc, etc. If you want to really learn about a program, do a sub-i there or do some research, contact some of their residents, ask your home program residents, as k your attendings, pay attention at the interview, etc. Don't let another person's issue cloud your own reasoning.
