The Interview is a Two-Way Street: How to Vet a Potential Employer

It's easy to forget that an interview is a two-way street. While you're trying to impress them, you should also be evaluating them.

Pay attention to the company culture. How do the employees interact with each other? Is the environment collaborative or competitive? Ask questions about work-life balance, opportunities for professional development, and employee turnover.

Look for red flags. Is the interviewer unprepared or dismissive? Are the job responsibilities vague? Do they avoid answering your questions about culture? Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. Finding the right cultural fit is just as important as finding the right role.
