Expecting an offer this week from industry. Fairly large company. I've chatted with my interviewers about WLB, culture, etc. but understand they will likely only give the good side.

Is it a bad idea to ask to be connected to an Associate (level I'm applying for) if/when I get the offer? Just want to learn more about their day to day and hear them talk about the company before I accept.

I don’t think it’s bad, I’ve done that on LinkedIn before! It helped me not take the job actually

Why wait till the offer comes, unless you don't plan to apply to the company again if this doesn't work out? But positive vibes that it does work out.

What industry?

No

You can but wouldn't you get an equally sunny picture? If you're really concerned about there being more mess than it seems, it would appear you need to find a backdoor to talk to. Do you have anyone in your network who's familiar with the organization you're going to?

Hm, I think an associate would be more honest than the higher ups I've been speaking to for interviews. Or at least, can walk me through a day from their perspective.
