Questions to ask in a job interview that reveal company culture
This is well-intentioned, but kind of misses the point. The interview process at most companies of non-trivial size is designed to expose you and obfuscate the company. Interviewers get 50 minutes to grill you in front of a board. You get 5 minutes at the end, when all you really want is a pee break. Interviewers want you to describe past experiences and projects and incidents in utmost detail. In turn, they expect you to understand that discretion prevents them from sharing many specifics about their current projects, satisfaction with teammates, or thoughts about company direction. The entire process is about creating as big an information imbalance as possible to minimize the hiring risk to them and offload all the stress and frustration onto you.
