What are some ways to determine if an employer is a good place to work for before applying and potentially getting rejected?
What are some ways to determine if an employer is a good place to work for before applying and potentially getting rejected? Well, you know, I will say if you go to sites like Glassdoor, you’re going to get the two extremes in the response: “Wow, what a great place to work!” or “This place is awful. God, stay clear.” But between the two poles, there’s a more textured answer.
Also, contact people who work for the firm through LinkedIn. “Um, you know, I’m interviewing for a job in such and such department doing such and such. Um, I want to get an idea of what it’s like to work for the firm. Can you point me to someone who works in that department?” “Who does the job report to?” “I’m not exactly sure, I just saw a job ad.” And you can send them a job description and basically respond by saying, “I don’t know who the job is with, but this is the position description. Do you know someone who might fit into a group like this?”
Um, and thus, you know, you would answer it or have them answer by elaborating a little bit more. And it’s not just what they say, but how they say it that’s going to make the difference.
