Don’t take a new development job without asking these questions

As the head of engineering at Atlassian, I’m part of a lot of interview panels (Like, a lot). I know I’ve got an above-average candidate sitting across from me when they start asking questions about the team they’d be joining.

I suppose one of his questions for candidates is: do you enjoy working for a company which seems intent on ensuring its products are never great?

It's always depressing reading those articles. My answer is "Nope!" to those 8 bullet points. So why do I work where I work? Aye, there's the rub!

I have determined that for myself the two most important questions I would ask are: 1. Define leadership in one sentence or less. 2. Define teamwork in one sentence or less. If they can't adequately answer these two simple question, run.

I would demand a complete sentence - none of this "or less" nonsense. Far too many people speak in sentence fragments as it is.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
