Dec 16, 2022 Season 1 Episode 20

Welcome to CAREER HEADQUARTERS - The most comprehensive career podcast!

This episode is all about how professionals can understand the culture of an organisation before they accept the offer.

Here is what is covered in this episode:

02:00 - A lot of the business related information such as revenue, profits, turnover etc. may be easily available but that's not the case when it comes to the cultural aspects of an organisation. To begin, can you explain why it is important to understand the culture of the organisation that you are considering joining in the first place?

06:02 - Does it make sense for a potential candidate to consider how a company defines its culture on its website and other social media channels? Can this information reflect the actual happenings in an organisation?

08:36 - Are forums such as Glassdoor useful for this exercise? Can these employee reviews be trusted? How can one glean the right information from these forums?

13:59 - In your experience, what are the best ways to ascertain the cultural aspects of an organisation?

18:41 -  While choosing between offers on the basis of organisational culture, what are the aspects that a professional needs to keep in mind while making the decision?
