In most cases, no. It was a shock for me coming from the UK.
If you have access to a platform like Orbis, you can check just in case.
You can also Google company name + revenue, maybe you’ll get lucky and the company website or a press release will mention something.
Otherwise, you can use proxies for scale (e.g. number of employees on LinkedIn, Glassdoor size ranges, website traffic on SEMrush etc.)

Oftentimes, I’m afraid so.

DnB may have some info, if you have access to it

I do, but it’s only estimated and says nothing about development over time or profitability

I accepted my Amazon offer on 5/23 via email as told by the recruiter who also took down my social via telephone and send me a old school pdf to fill out for a my background screening. At the time we decided on 6/13 as the start date. On 6/3 I received an email from Amazon’s version of docusign to sign my offer, and yesterday 6/8 I was notified by the recruiter that my start date would be delayed to 6/20 due to background not being completed. Any idea what is going on.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
