Does your company leadership keep its employees up to date on the financial health of the company? If not, that’s a red flag IMO. Small startups have no excuse not to keep their employees informed on this topic. If the company is in dire straits, employees deserve to know. Similarly if the company is doing well, employees deserve to know. Of course executives will balance that obligation with the need to keep morale. If the company is in trouble, but it’s not catastrophic yet, I could see why they might choose to keep that information from employees. The last thing they want at a critical make-or-break juncture like that is a stampede out the door or a bunch of engineers interviewing for new jobs. If you have a good relationship with your manager (or the CEO in the case of a small startup), I would recommend discussing your concerns with him/her. If you do not have such a relationship, well... that’s a red flag.
