companies are trying to discover whether you are a good fit for their specific culture. But you have your own ambitions, goals, and ideal work environment too, right? So how can you find out if the culture is a good fit for your own criteria?

5 company culture interview question every job seeker should ask
1.
2. Okay, you don’t have to ask this straight-up, but you can allude to it through
questions like, “How long have you worked here?” If there is high turnover, it’s likely
that there are problems with their culture. Office drama between colleagues, a lack
of voice, bad management, etc. can all contribute to making people leave the
company quickly. And a place where people are constantly trying to exit is not one
you want to enter.
3. With this question, you can find out the level of input you’d be able to make
depending on your level or rank within the company. Can you, as a marketer, sit in on a
product meeting? Can you provide input on marketing issues?
One quick way to discover how collaborative an environment is, is to see how your
interviewer answer the “ideas” question. And it’s a much more pointed way to learn
the truth than by asking “How team oriented are you?”
4. If growth and new opportunities are what you’re after, make sure you don’t end up at
a dead-end job. If you want the chance to move up and take on new responsibilities,
this is your chance to ensure you’re not looking for yet another new job a year down
the road.
5. Are metrics focused on time spent in the office or results achieved? This could be
a tough one to answer, but could give you insight into the degree of freedom
offered as well as the challenges and responsibilities available.
