I interviewed at somewhere that iZettle acqui-hired...salary terrible, no benefits, next-level bad interview process (they had someone from HR doing technical interviews, I asked why, the HR person actually said they didn't know). Almost every other local tech company, admittedly not a backwater, paid higher.

In my experience, generally, there isn't a straight read from "company you have heard about" to "has any clue what they are doing".
