Things to ask at next employer interview

  • Leadership/PM's role in application development - hands on vs. independent; can I expect an architect to lead and develop plans?
  • Application architecture (tiered? converted from older technologies?)
  • Technologies most often used
  • DBA's role
  • Standards - how are they complied with? verified?
  • Quality control and testing
  • Number of hours average developer works each week
  • Number of hours supervisor works each week
  • Amount of interaction, team-focus
  • Work area - isolated vs. close together
  • Opportunities for certification/education and emphasis on this area

Anyway, these questions have more to do with work environment and leadership than they do with computers.
