Even if HR is supposed to answer that I'd still ask the people doing the work. Often HR have a rose tinted view of things compared to the reality that the developers see. I remember having an exit interview where I told HR how bad things really were and they just refused to believe that it was real because no one had told them.
As for financial stability, I'd rather look at things like crunchbase or some finance website just to find the details. I've found a lot of people working for a company will put a positive spin on everything because they'll often be trying to convince themselves they've made a good choice to remain at the company. Essentially, it's a sunk cost fallacy.
