Learn your future employer's culture

You can gain a strong sense of a future employer’s values before you start a new job when you sit down at the negotiating table with them, according to Fast Company. The areas they give you pushback on will help you ascertain where they stand on cultural issues. Take the time to note these sticking points, as they are likely to arise again when you begin working at the company. Also pay attention to whether they treat them as “a problem-solving process,” or something more difficult.
