| being opinionated is now a dangerous game. but those questions in the article don't make sense. your interviewers, go through interview training and are coached into giving politically correct answers. just like you BS some answers in your interview, companies do the same as well. no interviewer, is going to be like - this place sucks - we're slow moving, we're led by leaders without vision, there's a lot of internal politics. everyone will tell you - this is the best place they have worked etc. the reasonable answer to work life balance is to ask how long they have worked there - usually places with better work life balance for people that have families - not solos like us - tend to have good work life balance - and people have long tenures. YMMV. best place I worked - before the usual tech grilling - I had an hour lunch with the team and the rest of the company. they got to know me, made me comfortable and I got to know them as well. |
Very few companies have a standardized interview process where interviewers get training. Less than 10% easily.
My Fortune 500 company doesn't have it. Perhaps the managers get such training but the majority of interview sessions are not with managers.
