If you’re in the interview process, chances are you’ve already peeked at Glassdoor, Google business profile, Trustpilot, etc. to get a sense of the company. It’s a smart move because it gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work there. ✅Check the Trends, Not Just One Review – Every company has good days and bad days. Look for consistent themes in the reviews to get a real sense of the culture, leadership, and work-life balance. ✅Pay Attention to How the Company Responds – A company that takes the time to respond to reviews (especially the negative ones) is likely one that values feedback and is committed to improving. ✅Use It as a Conversation Starter – Found something interesting? Bring it up during your interview! It shows you’ve done your research and care about finding the right fit. Remember, while reviews can be helpful, your experience with the team, projects, and company culture might be different. Take what you learn and balance it with your own impressions. By exploring a company’s online reputation and culture, you’re not just preparing to answer questions—you’re preparing to ask the right ones. #InterviewPrep #CandidateExperience #CompanyResearch
