• What challenges does the department/company face in the next month/six months/year?
• How are performance reviews / salary reviews handled?
• What in my background (or on my resume) do you see as the most beneficial for the team?

• What do people typically do for lunch?
• Which departments do you typically interface with the most?

TODO: Telecommuting

• Do you allow telecommuting? What does that mean exactly? Does it mean "You can work from home 3 days a year when the plumber is coming" or does it mean anyone can work from anywhere, in any amounts?
• If you allow telecommuting in the latter sense, do you cover the expenses incurred by the remote employees [laptop, internet connection, phone, hardware, software, a nice desk and chair, etc]? What happens if something happens to these things?
