I am interviewing for a senior financial analyst position and the recruiter says they’re getting ready to make me an offer. I am not very familiar with the company and there’s not a lot of info available about them. Should this be a red flag for me or is it common to jump into an unknown company?

Pretty sure you know the answer to that. But since you're seeking validation, no it's not a good idea to jump into a company you aren't sure about. You should be excited for an offer, not questioning if it's a red flag.

If there's no info online (start up?), then you need to dig into the company through your interviews. If you still aren't sure, well that probably means you need to look elsewhere.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
