No one is going to loudly tell you "this job sucks brah", but get a name and hit them up on LinkedIn.
Plus any feedback that not positive is probably negative. Damning with faint praise, etc.
Absolutely! You can also attempt to “listen between the lines” when talking with them.
They may say something like, “management will order us anything we want for dinner” as a positive. But to me this is a red flag, as I should not need to have dinner ordered for me regularly, or ever.
Take that concept and attempt to translate their words into reality.
During one talk, they shared that they "Sometimes have to work during holidays." He then backtracked and said, "It's not often though!"
Without naming the employee, during a future interview, I asked about work balance and they also hinted that sometimes, work does bleed into weekends and holidays.
Pretty easy nope.
If a job can't get the work done without overworking on holidays, it's a clear sign that they're understaffed or have shitty management who don't push back against due dates.
