I'm curious about this, how does this help you figure out culture? Is it a "what's their priority" type of thing? Have you been wrong before? What the company communicated public was not the reality?
Personally I'm trying to become better at gauging this myself, and I've only ever been able to make a "culture" opinion during the interview process when I get to hang out and small talk with the actual devs I'd be working with.
- recvonline 4y agoGenerally, the more technical the Dev Revels are, the more technical is the mindset of the company. If the DevRevel is promoting work culture 50% of their time, it‘s a priority for the employer and personally, for me, a small red flag (you might think otherwise). Each person you are in touch with from a company gives you a sense whom they hire and what the company agenda and priority is.
