They Interview You. Interview Them Back.

A friend was preparing for a job interview. They asked me to help them practice.

We spent an hour going through the usual: "Tell me about yourself." "What's your greatest weakness?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

Then I asked them a different question.

"What questions are you going to ask them?"

Blank stare.

Here's what I told them: the company is interviewing you, but you should be interviewing them too.

You're about to spend 40+ hours a week at this place. Maybe years of your life. You need to know what you're walking into.

Is the company stable? Do they treat employees well? Is this a role that will still exist in two years—or is it a zombie job posting they keep up to "keep the pipeline warm"?

Most candidates walk into interviews completely blind. They know what the company says about itself. They don't know what the company actually is.

Companies know everything about you. They've seen your resume, your LinkedIn, probably your GitHub. They've Googled you. They might have even run a background check.

What do you know about them? Their careers page. A Glassdoor review from 2019. Maybe a news article about their Series B.

That's not enough.

You need to know: Are they growing or shrinking? What's their reputation in the industry? Have they had layoffs? What do current employees actually say? Is this job posting real—or has it been up for six months because they're not actually hiring?

We do the research you don't have time to do.

Give us a company name or a job posting. We'll pull together everything that matters: funding status, recent news, employee reviews, leadership changes, layoff history, and yes—whether that job posting is real or just collecting resumes.

We analyze the data and give you a clear picture. Green flags. Red flags. Things to ask about in the interview.

No fluff. No corporate spin. Just the information you need to make a smart decision about your career.

Job posting has been up for 6+ months? That's a ghost job—they're not really hiring.

Company just had layoffs but is posting aggressively? They might be trying to look healthy while replacing expensive senior people with cheaper juniors.

Glassdoor reviews from the last 6 months are significantly worse than older ones? Something changed, and not for the better.

Leadership team has high turnover? The CEO has been at three companies in four years? Instability that will affect your job security.

A bad job costs you more than a paycheck. It costs you time. Energy. Sometimes your mental health. Sometimes years of your career.

We've all taken jobs that looked great on paper and turned out to be disasters. Toxic culture. Broken promises. "Unlimited PTO" that nobody actually takes. "Fast-paced environment" that means understaffed and overworked.

You deserve to know before you accept.
