What are some good interview questions to ask the interviewer to ensure the role and company is a good fit? Starting my 2nd and 3rd round of interviews with a FAANG and Microsoft. Happy with my current consulting firm but would consider a move for the right role and company culture.

I always ask about what resources or resource groups the company has for women, mainly because I want to know. I make sure to ask both male and female interviewers to see if they have different reactions. I also ask how they feel about their company's mission/purpose

Well what do you want to know? What's important to you?

One that I really like - what’s the biggest area of improvement in this company/ department ?
It’s kinda flipping around the “what’s your biggest weakness” question. But it really tells you the worst thing in that company. If you can live with that, you will probably be able to manage.
Not to mention it’ll tell you how the culture of the firm looks at mistakes and failures.

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?
