Here are some questions (or a variation therof) I am thinking of asking next time I interview. I am mainly thinking of contract software development work.
Do you all feel they are inappropiate for contracting interviews? How about FT interviews?
1. How would you describe the place I would be working in?
2. How active of a role does managment play in the success of projects/tasks?
3. (If applicable) How does the team manage workload, support issues and projects?
Here are the things I would like to avoid:
1. A) placed at a desk were I cannot focus on my work
1. B) placed at a desk where I could be bumping into others if I streched my arms out
1. C) people who constantly complain and are toxic to productivity
2. A) micromanagment
I think # 3 is just a nice to know, but still wondering if it’s a bad question to ask to a potentialy insecure hiring manager. I hope that helps…
Thanks, Zygo
