Some of these "questions for the interviewer" are very good. In particular I like some of the "tell me the negatives" ones:
> What is the most costly technical decision made early on that the company is living with now?
> What is something you wish were different about your job?
> What has been the worst technical blunder that has happened in the recent past?
- cactus2093 7y agoThese are good questions, I like how they are phrased so concretely instead just asking “do you have a lot of tech debt?” They’re interesting for getting to know the team and getting a piece of insight you usually wouldn’t have until a few weeks into the job. But I would be careful how you interpret these. In fact I would almost factor in these answers in the opposite way of what I think you intended. The company that admits to the worst technical issues is at least honest and self reflective. The company that doesn’t admit to any serious issues might be just as bad or worse, but their strategy is to tell employees to lie about it rather than be open to addressing it.
