Red flags in new company or am I seeing too much?

I'm joining a new company end of this month

Some red flags I came across

  • Product is in beta launch
  • Raised seed without actual users
  • Created LinkedIn company page last week, so I don’t even know who employees are
  • No Glassdoor profile
  • Mentioned last person in this role was laid off in two months back, no way I can find her because LI page was never updated
  • they seem too excited, closed the role in one week and keep checking if I will join

Is it common or I am too paranoid?

The green flags

  • Salary is as per market standard (got a decent hike)
  • they have raised funds recently, so should be safe for sometime
  • the beta launch attracted good user numbers
  • the market is profitable, and would work in recession too

Did you get a chance to speak to anyone in the team? They usually have a round where you speak to the people you will work with, so you can dig deeper into questions like this
