When deciding whether or not to accept a job offer, how much weight do their reviews online hold for you? I take them pretty seriously. I just feel like regardless of how much money they offer, it’s not worth it if everyone there is miserable.

Just remember that people are way more likely to post a negative review of a company vs a positive review.

In my personal experience who your manager and executive are is very important because their personalities become the culture for your team. When you interview for a role you are also interviewing them and hopefully the team if you get that opportunity to see what the daily routine for the role is like and the WLB. Some companies have awful managers who run their teams like sweat shops while another manager lateral to them may be an absolute pleasure to work for.

Honestly, I don't give much stock to them. I feel like people always share the awful but don't always share the good.
