When it comes to attending an interview , most candidates spend hours researching the company and preparing answers to commonly asked questions. They want to leave a positive, lasting impression on their potential boss to increase their chances of securing the open vacancy. But their performance shouldn't be the only thing they're concerned about as they should be scanning the room for signs showing if it's a good or bad place to work.
It prompted a Reddit user to ask: "What's a red flag everyone should be aware of when attending a job interview?" In response, users took to the comment section to share the 'warning' signs people need to look out for, saying it could save their mental health in the long run. One user said: "I once turned down a job offer because they mentioned that the previous person in the position had quit after a few months, and most of the people I interviewed seemed stressed out." Another user added: "I brought up a company’s awful Glassdoor reviews and they got so mad they ended the interview.
Well, guess I dodged that bullet." While one user claims companies who describe themselves as "a big happy family" is a red flag, saying it usually means "they expect you to be super available all the time and put the job above everything else, even your actual life". One more user added: "Employees are either new hires or have been there for 15+ years with no in-between.
There is no room for improvement - it's better to leave for advancement." Another user said.
