[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to me please

I just turned down an opportunity to work for the company that could not clearly spelled out theirs. Now I have a second thoughts about that decision.
Am I insane? They pay good money, benefits are fantastic, commute is so-so, but doable. It is a step up in my career, but not exactly the industry I prefer to work in.

Thanks[/quote]

It's important. 
Less important than what they tell you is the references you do on the company, group and whom you would report to.  If you report to a bastard or bitch, I'd run.  Maybe not in my 20s if I needed the work experience but mid-career if the group has turnover, a selfish boss, etc, not worth it unless your situation deems it (need money, need the experience asap, etc.). 
But not articulating the culture well enough is not a cultural deal breaker in my book. Again, do your diligence and references. If you sense they couldn't articulate it well or each person sid something different or coy they could be hiding a dysfunction work environment or boss. But "not spelling it out", big deal. unless this is a philosophy company. [/quote]
