Ask HN: Tools or sites you use to scope out a workplace before taking a job?
If you're a software engineer (or will work closely w/ engineers), I built Key Values (<a href="https://www.keyvalues.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.keyvalues.com</a>) to help w/ this.<p>Before building KV though, my research process included looking for and reading:<p>- the company's career and about us pages<p>- an active blog w/ recent posts (w/in the last 2 months)<p>- LinkedIn / Twitter / GitHub of founders and existing team members (I'd also look for any old blogs written by (or press written about) these folks <i>before</i> they joined the company)<p>- checking to see if the company hosts meetups or hackathons I can attend<p>- seeing if I know anyone who currently works there or worked there before and then reaching out<p>- cold emailing or Tweeting current team members
