Average tenure of employees (ask hr that data), diversity questions
What their team most recently shipped that they were proud of
engineering processes, tech debt, quality of work. I've been burned by not doing enough due diligence about the engineering team and eng leadership before.
“What is the biggest challenge that this team currently faces?”
It does multiple things:
1) Shows whether they’re transparent and self-aware about their problems
2) Tells you what issues you’ll likely be dealing with ahead of time and whether you’re okay with that
3) Gives you a good impression of how the interviewer may deal with tough situations (esp. if that person will possibly be your manager)
As someone who’s performed multiple interviews, I love when people ask me this question bc it allows me to be fully transparent and weed out any wishy-washy candidates. And I can’t tell you how cringey some questions are where it feels like the interviewee is reading from a script.
And as the interviewee myself, I usually pass on jobs where the hiring manager gives me a a non-answer or bullshit answer (e.g., everything is great here, our current problems are all common in this industry, we’re just growing too quickly bc the company is doing so well, etc.)
