## What it is
A curated collection of questions job candidates can ask potential employers during interviews, organized by topics like culture, compensation, and engineering organizations. Each question includes notes on why it matters and what to look for in the answers.

## Use cases
- find good questions to ask in a job interview
- evaluate a company's culture before accepting an offer
- prepare for the reverse interview portion of a phone screen
- spot red flags in an engineering organization
- prepare questions about work-life balance and compensation

## When to choose
- you're preparing for interviews and want vetted questions with explanations
- you want to assess company culture, leadership, or role expectations
- you're a software engineer interviewing at tech companies

## When to avoid
- you need interview questions to ask candidates as a hiring manager
- you want interactive tooling rather than a static document
- you need director/VP-level questions, which are only linked externally
