It usually doesn't get that far - I've turned down interviews at companies I wouldn't work for because of their mission (an Apple recruiter for example who contacted me through a referral from a former colleague). If I'm that opposed to a company's mission or business practices that I'd turn down a job offer I'm probably not even going to waste my time interviewing.
- raybb 9y agoIs a company's mission a big part of what you look at when you're looking at a potential employer? Have you ever sought out a job because of the company's mission?
- alexbanks 9y agoI'm not the person you're responding to, but I have, and will continue to assess a company's "mission" before working there. I also look for companies in my community that I'd be exceptionally happy to work for from a mission standpoint. It's way easier to be passionate about your work when you're doing it for something you really believe in.
- mattnewport 9y agoIt's a fairly important factor, there's quite a few companies I'd be unlikely to work for due to qualms about how they operate. There's others I'd be more inclined to work for because of their mission. Ultimately the work has to be engaging though, I'm unlikely to take a job working on something that doesn't interest me just because I believe in the company's mission.
