Have you ever worked somewhere that looked amazing from the outside but drained you from the inside? When looking at companies I always seem to judge them on how much they post about their accomplishments, but maybe this is only because I’ve had a bad experience previously?

For sure- this company is so dysfunctional but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the outside

It’s actually crazy how good companies can make themselves look from the outside

This is why I read any negative reviews before taking job interviews, people are usually honest with those

What kind of accomplishments you look for in a company?

The kind of company that publicly praises its own employees rather than brag about everything the company has achieved is always a big plus for me

Most of the workplace survey data are paid to play I think

Accomplishments from a company's perspective can also be a lot of fluff. For me, I test it by trying to find out what a company's mission and vision define as value or rather "If they talk about it than they should be about it." If the company's culture matches how the management and employees work, collaborate and communicate with one another and not just put on a positive face for the clients only to make money.

This is exactly how I feel! Seeing a companies values can be so eye opening
