Asking the right questions to your interviewer can help assess if the company aligns with your values, career goals, and personal growth.
An interview is a two-way street. The interviewer is evaluating if you are the right fit for the role and the company in terms of skillset, experience, and cultural fit. However, the candidate should also be assessing if the company aligns with their mission, values, and long-term career goals. This is important for all roles, but particularly relevant for engineering leaders, who are required to embody the core values of their workplace.
If this time is not allocated during the interview, you should request to speak with the hiring manager on a separate occasion to have all your questions answered before making a decision.
