Besides employee turnover, what are other ways that I can tell if a company is good or bad to work for?


I became unemployed over a year ago, and found a job which I regret taking now. The company treats it's employees terribly in every way, and the employees are leaving weekly, it is that bad. Initially, the company profile did sound great and professional. However, the company seemed to be online constantly, and after my first interview, I was hired immediately, little reg flags I ignored. I didn't know how bad it really was until I was there a few days. Of course I am in the job market again but I don't want to make the same mistake and end up in a similiar predictament. Any information will be immensely appreciated!

First, take a look at the amount of job openings in the company (or certain dept). Ask the reason (due to expansion? promtion? people leaving?) Not sure they'll be honest so watch the response very carefully.

If they are a public company go to the yahoo message boards and see if EEs are complaining. All companies have some disgruntled EEs, so you need to balance it. But if you hear them talking about layoffs or poor management, try to bring up some of these concerns on the interview (without actually saying you read them on the message boards).

Find a good employment agency. Ask them for feedback on the company. Ask the company itself about their turnover rate. Ask if their employees are happy. It shows you want to find a good fit...they'll appreciate that.

Try to listen as you wait in the lobby to be called for an interview. Do people walk around happy? Do you seem to see a family atmosphere or are they running around like chickens with their heads cut off)?

Ask around and network. Even if you don't ask your friends for jobs, ask them what they know about such and such company.
