This is a presentation I gave at Milwaukee Code Camp 2019. This talk is about helping developers to remember that an interview works both ways and they need to be looking at the companies they might join just as in depth as those companies look at them, if not more-so, and to give them the knowledge of knowing what to look for when looking at prospective employers.

There is a solution however! During the interview process many of these red flags are visible, which let's you identify a less than positive workplace before you even accept an offer. There are many subtle things that can be discovered, not only through questions you ask the interviewer, but even what you notice as you walk through their office.
