Feel free to be as bitter as you want with your friends over beers.

But a job interview is probably not the time or place.

Furthermore, there are often two sides to a story. It's entirely possible that I'll read your complaints as reflecting more about you than your current/former company.




Yes, there is always two sides of the story, I just don't understand where presumption of an employee's fault is coming from.


I'm not sure it's a presumption. But if someone, say, volunteered that "no one at my company sufficiently values my contributions," it at least raises the thought that maybe your contributions weren't nearly as valuable as you thought they were.

More generally, raising gripes about teams/managers/work mostly don't use your interview time to raise positive aspects about yourself and your work even if they aren't necessarily negatives.


And I agree with that too.
