There&#x27;s a lot more to a company than what it sells. Saying &quot;I want to work here&quot; without knowing the people there, for me, would be a non-starter.<p>What you&#x27;re recommending (doing the background research on companies) is useful, but the worst jobs I&#x27;ve had have been the ones where I didn&#x27;t do a good job interviewing my coworkers, and was just excited about the product, or the theoretical culture.
