We have 2 bonus websites:
Yahoo Finance. Understanding a company's latest acquisitions, current news, financial state will provide you with great intel when the interviewers prompt you if you have any questions. Your answer is a strong 'YES' because you have done the due diligence and you are well prepared to provide a comprehensive, insightful question(s).
TheLayoff.com An anonymous discussion board that allows participants to provide their glimpse of an organizations behavioral status. I know, I know this is an interesting one, you will have to have good discernment but the awareness that the grass is not always green on the other side has some validity to not being blind sided. Take the meat, and spit the bones out!
