Absolutely. It’s always worth doing some research about a company if you want to apply for a job – if the company sounds suitable then that’s great, and if it doesn’t sound like a good fit then you’ll save yourself some time.
Happily, it’s never been so easy to get this research done. Job sites like Glassdoor and Indeed collate anonymous company reviews, so you can get the inside scoop on a company’s environment and culture from people who have worked there. It’s also worth using a search engine to find out if your potential new place of work has hit the headlines for anything unsavory.
