The questions you ask during an interview can reveal just as much about you as the answers you give.
As a UI/UX Designer, your questions should demonstrate curiosity about the product, users, design culture, collaboration, and expectations for the role.
Product
- What are the main goals and priorities for the product right now?
- Who are the primary users of the product?
- What are the biggest challenges the product or design team is currently trying to solve?
- Is the product available on the web, mobile, or both?
Team Collaboration
- How is the design team structured?
- Would I be responsible for a specific product area, or would I work across multiple features and products?
- Who would I work with most closely on a daily basis?
- Who would I report to?
- How involved are designers in user research and discovery?
- How do designers collaborate with developers during implementation?
- Do you have an established Design System, and how involved are designers in maintaining or evolving it?
- How are projects and tasks managed within the team?
Other
- Are working hours flexible, or are there specific core hours when the team is expected to be available?
- How often do you conduct performance reviews?
- Is this position offered as an employee or contractor role?
- Does the company provide the necessary equipment, or would I be expected to use my own laptop?
- If the role is remote, does the company provide any support for a home office setup?
- Do you use any time-tracking software?
- Is there anything about my experience that you would like me to clarify before we finish?
There are probably a bunch of questions here and there that I haven't included, but it's really important to know these things before joining a company so you don't find yourself caught off guard later.
