I signed a joining agreement with the organization. However, after discussing the company culture and environment with 2-3 existing employees on Indeed, I learned that it is reportedly horrible there. I have received a new offer and do not wish to join this organization. What steps should I take to avoid joining without incurring a penalty?

Research Before Changing Jobs
When changing jobs, you need to do your homework before you go for an interview and most certainly before you ever sign one single piece of paper. Never sign anything until you are 110% certain everything is going to be okay.
You need to know as much about the company and your prospective new employers in as much detail as you can find. Try to talk to existing employees, and search the internet to find any information you can.
It is not just a matter of finding a job you want to do; it's also about finding an organization you want to work for, and one that has the environment and culture that meet your requirements.
