Point of Contact - BEFORE THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS - This will be your Recruiter, HR Rep, or in some cases the Hiring Manager:

About the position:
Why is the position open?
How long has the position been open?
How many people are interviewing?
Why do you think my background is a good fit?

Logistics:
I see the position is located here, would it be possible to work out of another location/work remote?
Does the job require travel?
What is the salary range?
What are the specific benefits you offer including, but not limited to vacation/PTO, holidays, sick time, health, dental, vision, 401k, tuition reimbursement, free food, free gym, etc.?

Process:
What is the process/what are the specific steps?
How long is the process?
How often will I hear back from you?
Will you be letting me know if you are out on vacation? - This one is important because there is nothing worse than getting an out of office response with no backup contact when you are waiting to hear back after interviewing or at any step in the process.

Interview:
How many interviews will be conducted?
What are the stages?
Who is the final decision maker?
What topics will the interviewer/s be covering during my interview

Lastly:
Any questions that I did not ask that are important for me to know? Questions you typically hear from other candidates?

During the interview the questions will be focused on them:
I obviously looked you up on LinkedIn, but tell me about your path to this role?
What do you like the best about your role and the company?

Hiring Manager:
What do you like the most about working at Google?
What do you like the most about your position?
What is the coolest thing you are working on right now?
What is the biggest opportunity for your team this year, in the upcoming months, etc.?
What does success look like in this position? If you could break that down over the first 3-6 months, the first year, and after two years?
How do you measure success?
What is the typical career path for someone in this type of position?
How does this role fit into the overall strategy of the organization?
What do you see as the core function of this role as part of the larger organization?
Tell me about a typical day in this role?
Are there any questions from my background/anything I can clarify from my answers today or from my background regarding fit for this role?
What is the most important skill that you need today?
I have already discussed this with the Recruiter (if you have), but what are the next steps?
Any additional information you would like from me?

Team Member:
What do you like the best about your role and the company?
What do you look for in a team member?
How do you foster a collaborative team?
How will hiring this position help you?
What is a specific pain point you are facing now because this position is not hired?
Does the team tend to work on projects together or alone?

Cross Functional:
What do you like the best about your role and the company?
How does your team interact with the team I would be supporting?
How often would we be working together?
How does this role help your team have success?
