It is common in many employment scenarios to see the prospective employer asking all the questions and seeking all kinds of refences.
If you are a genuine and strong candidate, you need to do as much due diligence to ensure that the department and people you will be working with are worth you. It’s as simple: do they deserve you?
During the my early part of career, I made this error of not doing a thorough due diligence, and landed in a bad place. The lessons have been rewarding ever since. In this note, I want to share a couple of thoughts with you.
This question becomes even more relevant when the company under consideration is a start-up or a mid-sized company, where the expecations on performance will be high and you are likely to have long working hours, at least in the first few months till you establish your comfort level.
Try to use various sources to find more about the managers and directors leading the company or business division you will be working.
What are they known for? You must also ask the company that you want to speak with at least two current employees. Its a very valid request.
