This is a great list of questions! Is there a list out there on how what sorts of questions to ask for engineers or other non-PM roles?

I've asked interviewers "what do you like about working here."

followed by what are the things they don't like about working here.

I've gotten pretty candid responses.

You need to work somewhere for a while to know what it's actually like. What people tell you in interviews only has so much to do with that.

This is a puff piece that's essentially an ad for the company with whom she accepted an offer.

    - Adding value to the world
    - Building a sustainable business
    - Learning personally
    - Growing others
    - Working with great people
This is where I looked at the URL and realized it was on their own website.

First spot being "make the world a better place" brings it close to satire level!

Yeah, I also find these types of articles to be disingenuous. The tech hiring process is suboptimal, but it doesn’t help when you have a lot of noisy PR articles disguised as interviewing tips.
