A problem that I've had is that every company says that they value code quality, emphasize developer growth, value developer's technical feedback, etc. even if they don't in practice. I've debated taking a page from old school behavioral interviewing and asking questions like:

Tell me about a time that you made a decision to improve code quality or architecture at the expense of a deadline.

Tell me about a time that you invested resources into an engineer's technical development even though there would be no immediate, short term benefit to the company.

Tell me about a time that you pushed back on a decision from business or design because one of your engineers said that it was the wrong technical decision.
