Ask for a few recent examples of difficult business decisions (ie ones that involved real tradeoffs, sacrifice, or risk) or investments that were driven by agency values
“Is this a brand new role or will I be replacing another designer?”
Because that allows me to assess whether the company has a high turnover of employees in the role. Remember to think of stuff that’s important to you as well. It shows that you are looking for stability and not trying to use that job as a springboard for something better.
I like to ask what they like about working there and if there’s anything they would change. Also, make sure the snack drawer is adequate. 🤣

What if they reply “My husband”?
In my last interview I asked what was the best thing about working with the team? The silence before the answers was all I needed to know 😂
“Tell me about the last person that was in this role.”
“How would you think the team would describe their manager? Would you be agreeable to putting me in touch with someone on the team, who operates in or close to this role, so I can get a direct sense of what things are like on the ground?”
“How would you describe the agency’s strengths and weaknesses?”
“What is the agency’s stance on inclusivity and diversity, and how have they committed to upholding that through initiatives or policies?”
I wouldn’t ask that question. Ask, we spoke about the technical aspect but what soft skills are valued here? If interviewing with manager, “What projects are you working on that I could help you with?”
At the end, ask the interviewer if there is anything in your background or skill set would give him/her reservation about your ability to be successful. You can also ask what success looks like in 3, 6 and a year.
Seems like a lot of people left thoughtful and helpful ones here so here’s my less thoughtful but potentially insightful ones.
