Your questions are part of the interview. Good ones signal seniority, genuine interest, and that you're evaluating them too. Here are the best.
About the role
- What does success look like in the first 6 months?
- What are the biggest challenges facing the person in this role?
- How is performance measured here?
About the team & growth
- How would you describe the team's working style?
- What does growth look like for someone who does well here?
- What's something the team shipped recently that they're proud of?
The quiet red-flag check
Ask "Why is this role open?" and "How long do people usually stay on the team?" The answers tell you a lot.
