Asking these questions a lot in interviews to candidates most people lie by either talking in generalities, or back off and are honest like "were going through that now" both give you an answer. I have not asked this directly in an interview but my normal tactic is to have lunch with the engineers and no manager which gets you lots of examples.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoHow do you get to have lunch with the engineers before joining the company?
- ticmasta 7y agoWe often (twice in the past 3-4 months) sent desirable prospective hires for coffee with a current employee to allay some of their fears. Both accepted jobs shortly after this, and likey would not have if we didn't give them relatively "unfettered" access to the real deal.
- astura 7y agoSometimes sending the interviewee to lunch with potential co-workers is an optional part of the interview. I've been on many such lunches (mostly as a potential co-worker, only once as an interviewee) Obviously, it's up to management if they want this to be a part of the interview.
- grogenaut 7y agodefinitely is but I've found that if the manager wants the hire (esp post the company deciding to move forward with an offer), then you have leverage and this is a very sane ask.
- grogenaut 7y agoyou tell the hiring manager that you want to do that and make it part of the hire. If you're in town you do it a separate day.
