By now, you’ve probably heard of job search red flags. The deal-breaking parts of a job offer or interview that make you immediately turn down the offer or withdraw from the application process.
Company reviews can be a great source when you’re curious about what employees actually think of the company. But a string of negative reviews isn’t necessarily an immediate red flag.
