It’s really dumb to not let people talk to existing employees, when sites like glassdoor exist. Particularly because it’s blatantly obvious when they’re trying to pad out favorable reviews. But it’s actually more convincing in person.
Or Facebook. There’s a very large Facebook group and it’s a small world within my industry. I made a post and got a direct message from the lead the next day.
That said, thinking back, the dude was kind of a tool so that may be why they didn’t want me to talk to him lol
