Hi All,
I had multiple rounds of interviews for a PM role. The people seemed good and the offer is good as well. However, I do no see good reviews about the organization on Glassdoor as well as Blind. Should I still think of joining or stay away?
Once bitten, twice shy :)

Do you like the new manager? Do you think he will be your manager for the foreseeable future?
If the answer to either of these questions is NO. Then don’t take it.
Your manager defines your progress and WLB in the company. Everything else is not meaningful in the long run
So I haven't spoken to the HM yet.
Any thoughts/advice? @Pie3.14
The next best thing is to, talk to manager’s business partner and/or his direct reports(more than 2-3)
At my previous firm(Forthne 50), I had 5 managers and 4 VP and 3. Sr. Dir. in 2 years( All my managers were either horrible or newbie who would put anyone under the bus to save their hide). My promotion was shot down 2 times due to manager.
You work for your manager and get paid from the company.
