I got hired at a firm with great employee reviews… but the reality has been completely different. Micromanagement, no support, and 60-hour weeks. How do you tell the difference between real culture and good PR when you’re job hunting?

Could be team dependent as well.

senior analyst has a good point. Especially if you’re working for a company with multiple locations. Plus, just because you’re not enjoying your experience doesn’t mean others didn’t. You can tell a review is real if the reviewer has an active profile. If they don’t have a profile picture or only have the one review it’s probably fake, but if the profile has several reviews to it, it’s probably real.

Sorry to hear

It definitely depends on the team. I am on a great team in my company and would highly recommend it to others, but I also know of other teams within my department I wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole
