I don't think this would work on me if I were being asked questions by a candidate. I would just lie and say everything's fine no matter how much they insist.

Telling some random stranger "I hate this fucking company and wouldn't be surprised if it goes bankrupt within a year" gives me no benefits and puts me at a lot of risk; plus it's just awkward.
- majormajor 10y agoNot being able to get more than "everything's fine" out of someone is a pretty big indicator. :) If you can't tell me why it's fine, it probably isn't from your perspective. And if your answer isn't convincing, likewise. How much prep would you really put into giving a good, convincing, story about how great the company is that wouldn't be noticable compared to other people's answers?
- nostrademons 10y agoMost people can detect a lie like that. It's not what you say, but how you say it. Mumbling "Oh, I love working here, it's great" in a level tone of voice while staring at the floor is very different from exclaiming "Oh, I love working here, it's great" while looking you in the eye, standing up straight with your shoulders back and relaxed.
