But how do you identify these red flags? Fast Company's article "9 Red Flags to Watch For in a Job Interview" dives into this topic with insights from Nenuca Syquia (BOxD CEO).? ? A company's culture is often more than just its mission statement or employee perks. It's reflected in the way they recognize and reward their top performers.

Culture fit: A company that values and rewards behaviors that align with your own can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career. ? Career growth: A clear understanding of the company's promotion practices can help you assess your potential for advancement. ? Company values: A company that truly values its employees will invest in their development and recognize their contributions.
