+1 to thinking one should just apply. Related: I think it’s usually still useful to hear about the perspective of more rather than less potential coworkers and wonder if it makes sense for orgs to have a „This is what our employees say it’s like to work here“ document. I would’ve read that before applying, but I wouldn’t have reached out about it. Though I guess learning about the perspectives of your potential co-workers is a nice way to get to know them once you’re far enough into the application process?
fwiw, I do think it seems good to have publicly available info (not just via 1-1s) regarding what various people at the org think it’s like to work there, what a “day in the life” is like, etc. More generally, it seems good for people to write job profiles and “typical workday” writeups. Though I’m unsure how useful those things are and whether RP should prioritise producing more such things.
Some things that partially cover those needs which RP already has:
Maybe the Q&A recording from this round (but I haven’t watched it) and the internship hiring round earlier this year (but I can’t remember that Q&A well)

This post, the comments, the attached FAQ, and Lizka’s shortform

Maybe other stuff I’m forgetting
Thanks for the pointers, I hadn’t seen Lizka‘s shortform and found it very useful for my evaluation of working at RP.
