“What do you like about the company and what you don’t?” I always try to remind myself that I’m interviewing them as well to see if I would like to work there.

Great minds think alike. Literally posted similar questions at the same time.

like

I ask them about themselves, how they came to this position. Something more detailed then LinkedIn.

Think of a situation that made you realize you and your manager were not a great fit in the past. Create a professional way to to say it and ask the hiring managers how they would approach the scenario from a manager’s perspective.

Practice it until you can bring these questions up confidentially.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)
