How to vet smaller/boutique firms

Currently in the interview process with a place that has sub 50 employees and haven't been able to find anything on WSO or reddit about them. What are some way to see if this is a place that is worth working at? I'm currently looking through linkedin to see where previous employees have gone after and the general background of the employees. Any other ideas?
