Reverse Interview

List of original questions to ask during interviews. Trying to stick to the non-obvious ones.

  • What's the junior/senior balance of the team? (and are there plans to change it)
  • What does the onboarding look like?
  • What is your definition of success for this role?
  • How do you test code? How do you track bugs? How do you integrate and deploy changes? Is it CI/CD?
  • What's the workflow from the planning to the finished task?
  • How do you prepare for disaster recovery?
  • How are differences of opinions resolved?
  • Who sets the priorities / schedule?
  • What kind of meetings happen every week?
  • What happens after production incidents? Is there a culture of blameless analysis?
  • What are some ongoing challenges the team is experiencing that you are yet to resolve?
  • What's the promotion process? How are requirements / expectations communicated?
