Comment on Three questions to turn the table during technical interviews

Comments

This is one of those few “social engineering” pay-walled click-bait articles that I’m very happy IS pay-walled to reduce its cogent thought pollution.

This is not wisdom. This is over-fitting industry/era/role-specific individual experience to generic candidate advice.

Do none of these things.

This isn't social engineering, these are actual things I want to know about a company if I'm going to spend a few years there. I typically ask much more than this.

Even if the interviewer is forthright, you're never going to get actionable answers to these questions in this context.

If the interviewer is not, you'll be given falsehoods and platitudes.
