The best questions to ask the interviewer

"Do you have any questions for us?" is not a formality — it's part of the evaluation, and it's your chance to learn whether the job is right for you. Having no questions reads as low interest. Prepare four or five so you always have a fresh one left after the conversation covers the rest.

Questions about the role

• What does success look like in the first 90 days?
• What are the biggest challenges facing the person in this role right now?
• How is performance measured here?

Questions about the team and ways of working

• How is the team structured, and who would I work with most?
• How are decisions made and disagreements resolved?
• What does a typical week look like?

Questions about growth

• How do people typically grow from this position?
• What does support for learning and development look like?

Questions that show you've done your homework

Reference something specific — a product launch, a value, recent news — and ask a thoughtful question about it. This stands out more than any generic question.

What to avoid

Skip questions about salary and time off in a first interview (save those for later stages), and don't ask things a quick look at their website would answer.

Close with genuine interest. A good final question leaves a strong last impression.
