Question

Anytime I see companies looking for "a rockstar" or a "guru", I immediately close the window. It tells me they probably don't have clear expectations and want someone who is going do any and everything. Probably a very "work hard, play hard" culture that will overwork you and leave you stressed out.

Anyone have experience with these kinds of jobs/companies?

another one you see is "we're a family".

um, no we're not. You're my coworker. Stop being nosy and respect my privacy, weirdo lol. Some people just want to go to work, be cordial and friendly, and leave it at that.

At twilio, we have coaching with BetterUp and it's a good perk I with they highlighted actually. Sometimes these companies dont do a good job showcasing themselves.

try saying "1-1 coaching with a BetterUp coach" versus "professional development opportunities" or something

When they advertise a ping-pong table in the job listing, it's a huge 🚩. And I love ping-pong. If a silly perk like this [is] such a relevant part of your benefits package, that says a lot about what the company values, and likely its culture.

When I got my first consulting gig, ppl warned me the culture was a “competitive environment” and looking back, I def burned out quick. Money too good to quit tho lol.

I just saw a job posting that said "honor-based sick leave". Apparently some companies don't have trust in their employees or better yet, care too much about what they are doing in their free time.
