Before applying for a Job opening, should you visit the company and run background checks on the employees?

I think it may be a good idea because you understand the work conditions better and you know if your coworkers are dangerous. I really just want a safe, comfortable job, without any issues with anyone.

Does anyone do this?

I can't imagine employees of a company would submit to having background checks run on them by a random person who was thinking of applying for a job. The whole idea makes no sense. We just have to assume that the company employing people has ascertained that they're not a danger to anyone. Perhaps it's something to bring up in an interview, you can ask potential employers if anyone in their employ is dangerous.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
