I know both businesses- one very well. The one I know very well tends to keep the older employees well and mostly the younger ones leave. In all the years I have dealt with them, the staff seems to have a nice working together environment- joking with each other type thing, going out a few times a year for mental health ( most recently an ax throwing place) etc . The other has had a lot of changes/restructuring and I haven’t kept up with it all. The person who interviewed me seems to be fairly new and a bit young/clueless on how to interview. But the owner who I would work with I have known over years has always seemed nice. Both companies have very decent Glassdoor ratings.
I guess we will see how it goes.
