It can mean the difference between dreading going to work each day, or absolutely loving your job.
But it doesn't just happen by chance. Assessing company culture during your job search takes extra work.
But it can pay off by helping you choose to join a company that aligns with your goals and values. Which can mean greater career satisfaction.
You can certainly do this research once you've applied for a job at a company.
