So I recruit ... A lot. If a candidate just ask canned questions or kind of not super relevant questions like this I might spot that as a red flag.
Also those questions are very developer centric, not company centric Ie. Is this environment good for me developer, which is ok but you need to balance it.
For example:
what is your current pain points in the company?
How do you think I could help your company if I join?
^^ it is a huge red flag if you get BS responses on those as a candidate. Every single company sucks or way or another and if they hire it should be to improve it.
- bbarn 4y agoI think "what are you current pain points" or "What are some of the struggles that you've had in the past" are very good questions to ask. If a manager says everything is great then either they are overhiring, or lying. (with the exception of maybe forming a new product team inside a successful company.) Typically though, it dives into deeper discussions about the product and process that can be very engaging in both directions in an interview.
