Cracking Your Next Company's Culture is a must read for anyone embarking on a job search. Instead of spending all your prep time rehearsing your answers to tough interview questions, read this article and note what you need to do to ask the right questions.
One strategy that grabbed my attention is to ask the interviewer to give an example of how the company "lives and breathes its value statements." Of course, you have know what the company value statements are, so your research is highly critical.
Tired of all those behavioral and situational interview questions? Turn the tables by asking the interviewer to "walk you through a recent initiative." Wow! This is great stuff!
Excellent points! Culture dictates everything from clothing to performance reviews.
