Check out Madeline Mann on YouTube. I love her videos and she has great advice to apply throughout the interviewing process.

A few ideas to get a better feel for the company or the manager:
- What excites you about Company XYZ and/or the team?
- Tell me about the best team member/employee/Product Specialist you have ever had; what made them so successful?
- What do you enjoy most about the company culture/team dynamics?
- What makes this role challenging? / What is the thing that keeps you up at night?/ What is the thing you wish you could change?

What brought you to this company/position - tell me a bit about your story

I like to ask the person what are they passionate about? Or tell me about your story and how you got into this type of work? What is a recent example of something you did at work that brought you joy or made you feel more alive and connected?

What was a recent change made based on employee feedback?
It's a way to find out if they are interested in hearing employee feedback.

I like "Tell me about a time when...." questions.
