These feel like 'snapshotty' questions, whereas in my experience you want to know things are moving in the right direction. I.e. a company could be doing the right things, but just got taken over and those right things are slowly degrading. Or doing a load of wrong things, but working really hard to change that. It is very hard to tell what it is like working for a company from an interview. And things change, who you speak to there might be fired/leave in 3 months and it's a different scenario. I've seen this. That said real red flags in my opinion: * The company is about to be taken over - generally that is gonna be bad for a software developer or any non-lawyer kind of role really. * The company is struggling with cashflow * The company has fired a lot of people recently. * Unclear job spec. * Disorganised or overly burdensome interview process. * Strong bad gut feel about the people. * Crappy office - for your definition of crap, (even if you are the WFH...) * Secretive companies - avoid the trade-secrets obsessed "need to know basis" kind of affairs. * Sexism, etc.
