Much better to ask current or past employees if possible. An interview is PR and the hiring managers know it. You won't get honest answers

And you just risk not getting the job



How can I find these people? Especially people who were fired or pushed out for example?


I usually just find former employees on LinkedIn. I feel like most people are pretty honest once they're no longer part of the company (unless they're manager/execs or slightly adjacent, those types are in PR mode 25/8), and people tend to want to help others out if it's a truly shitty company they didn't enjoy.

Of course, take what they say, praise or otherwise, with a grain of salt. It's more about looking at the general theme between a few people, rather than what an individual or two says.


I didn't say it was easy hah. Meetups, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.
