How to spot bad boss during interview

Meta AI: Here are some signs to spot a bad boss during an interview:

1. _Negative talk about previous employees or colleagues_
2. _Lack of clear expectations or goals for the role_
3. _Unwillingness to discuss company culture or values_
4. _Defensiveness or evasiveness when asked tough questions_
5. _Focus on workload and long hours, rather than work-life balance_
6. _Unrealistic expectations or overly optimistic promises_
7. _Lack of transparency about challenges or difficulties_
8. _Unprofessional behavior, such as interrupting or dismissing questions_
9. _No clear plan for growth or professional development_
10. _Red flags in their body language, tone, or attitude_

Pay attention to your intuition and watch for inconsistencies between words and actions. Ask behavioral questions like:

- Can you tell me about a time when you supported an employee's growth?
- How do you handle conflicts or disagreements with team members?
- What are the biggest challenges facing the team, and how do you plan to address them?

Remember, an interview is a two-way conversation. Don't be afraid to ask tough questions and prioritize your own needs and well-being.
