Questions For Your Interviewers

Interviews are a two-way street, providing an opportunity to assess whether a company and team are a good fit. Here are the core points from this lesson:

• Prepare thoughtful questions that focus on factors directly impacting your work experience, such as on-call responsibilities and decision-making processes
• Avoid vague questions like "What's the work-life balance like?" and instead probe for root causes, such as the frequency and intensity of on-call duties or whether decisions are made top-down or bottom-up
• Understand the company's decision-making culture to gain insights into potential work-life balance challenges
• Ask targeted questions to get a clearer picture of the team's dynamics and the day-to-day realities of the role
• Take advantage of engineers’ straightforward answers to learn what it’s really like to work at the company
