Reverse Interview

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. The part of a hiring process where the candidate questions the company, team, manager, or role rather than only being evaluated themselves. Strong candidates use reverse interviews to assess culture, expectations, and risk, not just compensation.

    In plain English: The part of an interview where the candidate evaluates the company.

    Example: "The reverse interview questions about incident handling told me more than the recruiter pitch did."
