what questions should I ask job interviewers?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-28 14:21

Well 4chan, I've just graduated university and when I move up North I'm going to be looking for a job.

I'm one of those slackers who never bothered getting a job while in college, so I'm going to try to emphasize what I learned rather than the fact I have no references or "real world" experience.  I think I pretty much know what to emphasize and tout.

What I don't know is what to ask the job interviewer.  What sort of things should I look for in a company?  Most of the questions I have are related to a company's morals (stop laughing) -- for example if I have a feeling they'll have me work on DRM or "Trusted" Computing, I'll scratch out that company as one to work for.  Other than that, what other sort of information is good to get out of a job interviewer when I'm a job-newbie/programmer-journeyman?

Oh but regardless of if you like it or not, >>9 was right. Java is a lame programming language/API. The fact managers choose it because they read about it in a Sun ad in a magazine doesn't change this. I personally would not like to work on it, because I love my job and I want it to stay this way.

If work were about doing what you're told, then I would work in anything that had the highest pay and I could do, which may have nothing to do with software. But I will be working for half of the time I'm awake during most of my life, so I better love it or I'll be pretty unhappy. That's why I choose what to work in, and why I chose not to work with Java.
