Questions-I-ask-during-my-interviews

Goals and Objectives

This repo is a collection of interview questions that help identify your future company. These are the questions I've collected during my interviews with different companies. Remember they are interviewing you, and you are interviewing them.
Remember, these questions can be different for each company, but I hope this repo can help you succeed in your interview process.

  • How are your teams structured?
  • How many women work in this team?
  • What's your process to ensure you have diversity in other ways?

  • How much vacation do people get?

Community involvement

  • Do you contribute to open source projects?
  • Do your employees speak at conferences about the work they do? What is the company's support for that?

Management practices
