Interview Prep Notes!
How does the engineering culture differ from the overall company culture?
Do senior engineers pair with junior engineers in the ramp-up process? (If they do pair, you can follow up with more questions about who pairs, how often it happens, and how it’s scheduled.)/What kinds of processes are in place to help people work collaboratively?
Will I be working with anyone who is remote, or who works from home on a regular basis?
What checks and balances are in place to make sure people don't make big mistakes or repeat mistakes?/What kind of feedback can I get during my first few months, and who will I be getting it from?
Can you walk me through your development process, from a ticket or task to code on production?
Who might I be working closely with outside of engineering? Is there anyone else you think I should meet with?
What project will I first work on, and what metrics will determine success?
What's the typical day, week, and weekend like in the life of an engineer here?
Did any of your senior engineers start out as junior engineers here?/What percentage of managers within the company were promoted internally?
