- Tell me about your software development methodology.

- How are requirements communicated to developers?

- How is work by developers tracked?

- What VCS do you use?

- What bug tracker, etc?

- Do you practice devops?

- What's your build process look like? Automated? Continuous deployment?

- How big is the team?

- Do you do sprints? how long typically? How do you decide what to work on in a sprint?

- How do you determine when something is "done"? Who decides?

- Describe your infrastructure.

That's usually enough to get started. You can drill down as far as you want on pretty much any of those.

I would call those good questions from someone experienced or savvy. The guy I'm talking about didn't even care to know what we make.

It's not like we were Facebook or something where he'd already know.

Right, I was responding to watwut's question of "what exactly do you want me to ask?"
