Play a reverse uno card and ask the interviewer how long they are working for the company,which position they started in, what they liked and disliked about the company and what was the last thing that made them smile while at work.
Seriously. Do it.
Both interviewers do work in the same position they started in after 5 years? Looks like there is not much room for development. They are all there for less than 2 years? When the company is not a startup it’s likely staff retention is bad.
If both interviewers get nervous about the “like/dislike” question and only name cliché stuff: They might be afraid that they say something the other will report to someone.
And if they refuse to answer these questions totally? Well. Fuck their company culture, obviously.
Similarly, I’m a fan of the question “what’s the biggest change you’ve seen in [company] since you’ve worked here?” If they can’t think of anything, it’s likely your day-to-day work is going to be the exact same thing every day for years on end.
