I have a continuously growing list of questions in a Google doc. Whenever I run into something that's either "That's awesome, how do I make sure I find this again in the future" or "this is absolute garbage I never want to encounter this in a job again", it goes in the list. An obvious one that has saved me some grief is "Can I get a short product demo at some point during the interview process, to have a better understanding of what I'd be working on?" If they show you a janky pos app, makes it very easy to turn down and move on

kalel posted:Jira and confluence work fine. are there better alternatives I was surprised at how well gitlab stories worked the one time I dealt with that several jobs ago. There were a couple of pain points, but it was infinitely better than their garbage jira that took 30 seconds to load any given page

kalel posted:question: what are actual good responses to the question, "what are some of your weaknesses" My usual answer is something along the lines of "I have a natural inclination to be stubborn in some situations. However, as I've matured and grown over the years I've gained the ability to notice this tendency in myself, so anytime I run into a situation where I think I already have an answer, I stop, try to listen closely to those around me and take into account all other opinions and form a conclusion as objectively as possible and reach a consensus with my teammates." I go into a bit more detail and maybe come up with an example, but it's a genuine answer. No one is perfect, and I think the best answer focuses on self-awareness of our own inherent flaws/weaknesses (we all have them!), and how we try to work around them. Agreed though that it's an annoying question and I kinda hate it when an interviewer brings it up (which isn't too often), but doesn't hurt to have an answer prepared. Don't give answers like "I'm a perfectionist" or some other BS, just be honest about who you are!
