I’m interviewing with an agency that has a terrible reputation here and on Glassdoor. I’d be at a small satellite office, not HQ. How would you bring up the negative reviews, if at all?

You are interviewing them too. As folks above stated it would be unwise to bring up the negative reviews directly, but you could ask a couple of questions, like: how do you feel this office differs culturally from HQ? And/or: how do employees impact or feedback on culture here?

That’s helpful, thanks!

Ask them what their Glassdoor score is. “It’s lower than I want it to be and here’s how we’re fixing it.” You keep talking.

“Glass what?” Head for the door

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
