    Don't come at them with questions that spell out your doubts or reservations, one. They aren't looking to reassure you, they're looking to hire you, and as far as they're concerned they have the upper hand in that interaction. You don't want them leaving the interview thinking you're unimpressed by their operation or worried it'll collapse.

    Instead, ask about prospects for promotion within the company. That shows you're thinking long-ish term, and can see yourself sticking around. E.g. is there a defined hierarchy, does the position lead to higher rungs in the organization, that sort of thing.

    Ask if it's a new position. This will tell you either they're growing (yes), if the previous person was promoted (good), or the circumstances for why there is a vacancy (could be good or bad).

    • This is good advice, but if they're that new many of these questions will be hard, if not impossible to answer.ben_
