I look for the pay first. If it's not listed, I'm not wasting my time applying. If it is, I'll check the company reviews on Glassdoor. Anything over 3.5 is a green flag in my book since reviews tend to skew negative. After that, I feel like I've done my due diligence, hit apply and hope for the best.
My company gets a 4.1 on Glassdoor, and it's truly a solid 2.5. Just saying.
Remuneration is certainly important but I place less reliance on reviews. Cynic that I am, I suspect that most are written by either the disgruntled or the sycophantic. I go to the interview with the aim of interviewing the company. Is it the sort of company that I’d be happy to work for?
Pay transparency is legally required in some states/cities. It’s not required where I am, but some companies choose to share the salary band anyways. That’s definitely a big piece for me, because I don’t want to waste my time on a job that doesn’t pay enough. I also look at company reviews and ratings from employees, and the average employee tenure can be telling.
I typically check if the pay is listed and also read reviews online to see what employees are saying about the company. I want to know what the work-life balance is like and whether they truly value their employees.

Absolutely, work life balance is almost more important than pay really

I sometimes go digging into the reporting of layoffs to see if they are common there
And I snoop on the manager of course
