In my experience it's important to not ask "easy" questions that can be answered by a simple yes/no.

Instead of: Are you friendly to remote work? Ask: Will I be working with anyone who is remote, or who works from home on a regular basis?

Instead of: Is the work life balance good? Ask: How responsive are people to emails/Slack over the weekends and after 6pm?

Instead of: Can I have a good career path? Ask: Did any of your senior engineers start out as junior engineers here?
