How to Find Out If a Company’s Culture Is Right for You
Whether you’re just starting out or are looking for a new job, company culture is among the most important aspects to consider during your search. As a job applicant, you want to find a culture that aligns with your values. Pre-pandemic, it was easier as you could walk into an office and at least get a “feel” of how things might be. But now that most workplaces are remote, you need to be active and deliberate about figuring out whether an environment will be right for you. You can do that using these three tips: 1) Scour the internet for evidence: Remember that almost anything can be found online these days; 2) Uncover what lies beneath: Ask more specific questions about culture during your interview; and 3) Make an effort to connect: Reach out to your new colleagues and ask for more information.
