Question to all those people who have switched at least once.
How do you do the background verification of company/team/management to find out about work culture, technology and responsibilities?
How does one finds out if there is learning in this role, there is no micromanagement etc etc.?

Yep, it could be. The package and distance from your present location plays the main role here.
In my opinion consider the best package. This will satisfy your work even if it's harder because I always think that should get pay for work.

Ask here, u’ll have information ever, try DMing the ppl from the company

Fishbowl doesn't really help if the company is not well known. Also the reach of posts is limited if there is no seperate bowl for the company. Obviously less known company means less employee and thus it's hard to find some on fishbowl. This company doesn't even have much employees on linkedIn. Those who are on linkedIn are either inactive or doesn't accept the connections or they don't reply. Although it's not a startup but a mid size organisation.

You can always ask your friends who are working in that org.

Check reviews in Glassdoor, fishbowl.
Try connecting with people via LinkedIn and ask them your doubts.

You can talk to people with same designation as yours on LinkedIn

We couldn't figure it out until we faced it. Because it's all about the project and manager based. Coming to micro management, sorry, it's always there in IT. Just live with it and depend only on skills.

So is it that I should choose offer based on package offered only?

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte.
