Transparency is first and foremost in my mind. The current company I'm at shares the summaries of every board meeting. That may be overkill, but really the company should be sharing on a regular basis how the company is doing, if any strategy is changing, etc. Run away if: you're ever lied to, or if your pay is late.
Interesting. I love the thoughts regarding transparency. In my mind, transparency breeds trust. However I assume there are some counterarguments to be made about transparency. Can it have adverse effects?
