“How many people have quit your team in the last 6 month? Last year?” Turnover is a major red flag. Every hiring manager thinks their team is great, so asking subjective questions like “how’s the on-call?” Probably won’t yield useful answers.

That's something I always (have to) ask because otherwise nobody will tell you. At my current job it was particularly interesting because they started explaining me why they were looking for someone ("had to" fire the difficult person before) and why they were kind of afraid of getting someone as difficult as the person before.
