What’s the best way to tell if a company has a good culture before accepting an offer there? I don’t want to join and then want to leave a in a couple months time because the people there are awful. Are there any warning signs or positives that I can look out for before signing on the dotted line?

Best method would be if you knew someone that was at the company that you are considering and see if you can meet up for drinks, coffee, lunch, whatever and ask about their experience.

Or sift through signals and information available online that may be biased, but is likely better than having no information at all.

Reliable or people only reviewing when they’ve had a bad experience or want to get back at their employers?

Try to reach out to people currently working there and on the team and ask for a coffee chat
