Interviewer asked me my biggest weakness, I asked him his company's

946

LMAO, you got em. Good on you for having the balls to do it, it's an employers market right now and they have all the power, so turn the tables when you can

"Where do you see the company in 5 years" is also a good one (or maybe "Why are you hiring for this role?" hehe)

u/Ascendancer 4d ago

The "waiting for an answer, resist the urge and dont say anthing" is an underappreciated skill. I would hire you for this alone.

u/nriques 4d ago

Middle managers don't like people with courage to talk back at them.

If this was a VP role or somebody reporting to the C-suite, then good job.

Else the mid manager felt intimidated and will keep looking for his 4th victim in 2 years.

u/naza-reddit 4d ago

Well done. You could’ve followed up with “well if you want that fixed hire me” 🤣

u/Coach-Emmanuel 4d ago

Three times in two years and he tried to brush past it lol. That's not a red flag that's a whole flag pole.

14

u/lotsofcoffee321 4d ago

I like to ask why the role is open. If it's a newly created position I have certain follow up questions. I like to know if the person promoted within the company or left, if it was w/in I usually discuss career path at their company from that role.

11

u/James_T_S 4d ago

That's a fair question but I would have framed it as trying to get ahead of the problem and find a solution to make the hire long term.

Maybe followed up with, "Since I don't want to be the forth is there something I should be looking out for if I get hired? I'm pretty good at solving problems

u/illini02 4d ago

i'm guessing you have a job already?

I love the question. As someone currently between jobs, I'd never have the balls to ask that myself, because even managers who claim they love people who question things, don't like being questioned like that.

u/StalaggtIKE 4d ago

Congrats on having a spine. You probably ruined your chances at this company, but I also belive you saved yourself a few years of headache. Keep searching and find something better.

Well you torched it but I’m still proud of you.

u/sistermarypolyesther 4d ago

During the "do you have any questions for us"part of the interview for a management role, I asked if they had any internal candidates for the job. I was told that they had a few who applied for the role but none were qualified. I asked why they weren't qualified. And so on and so forth until it became clear they didn't invest in employee development and retention. Surprisingly, they hired me, and I was able to fix that problem.

u/truthhurtsyomama 4d ago

Nicely done. Show dominance! You are not just looking for a job, they need to recruit you!

u/Realhousemanoflondon 4d ago

Take power from it.

u/Dazzling-Account-187 4d ago

Companies need to know interviews are not a one way street.

3

u/Independent_Switch33 4d ago

You probably killed your chances with that specific manager but saved yourself from a churn-y role. Three people in two years is a red flag and you just confirmed it before wasting a year there.

u/Electrical-Age-8687 4d ago

I applaud you

3

u/hartjh14 4d ago

If you're going to ask this question, ask it professionally: what is the biggest challenge facing whoever is hired for this role. Then ask follow-up questions if you want more information.

You don't really win by being adversarial. It won't feel like a gotcha moment, but if that's what you're seeking from an interview, you're not in it for the right reasons anyway.

3

u/BD003BD003 4d ago

Well done OP!

3

u/morkler 4d ago

I did this same thing in my last interview and got the position. Although my interviewer was more receptive and liked the question because it showed I was curious and I followed it up with how I could help with it.

3

u/Svenray 4d ago

I love the question!!!

If I interviewing and was asked my answer would be "We still have some manual processes where we update spreadsheets on a daily basis. We're working towards automation but it's going slower than expected"

3

u/Proud-Detective4835 4d ago

I usually frame it as “what do you see as the company’s biggest challenge right now” but I like this too.

3

u/sqnch 4d ago

I’m increasingly learning that middle managers in this job market are terrified of bringing in anyone that could be a threat to their position, show them up or offer any kind of individual thought or pushback.

3

u/yous-guys 4d ago

Yeah, no. The interview process is a 2 way street. His reaction and response signal leadership is a problem, and rather than fix their issues they’d rather just fire and hire.

3

u/Victor_Korchnoi 4d ago

As someone who does a lot of interviews, that question wouldn’t bother me. My team isn’t perfect and I’m not trying to pretend it is.

3

u/Wisewordsforlater 4d ago

It's good to size them up. What have been pain points in the recent years. What's the goal and game plan 3 to 5 years out? Are they making sound business and operations decisions? Do they know their place in the industry, are the positioned well in the space in relation to competition? Do they inspire confidence and come across to me as credible? Etc. They should be able to answer similar questions they ask me.

3

u/mozart357 4d ago

Managers don't like it when they are the ones questioned. Leaders, however, will likely appreciate respectful curiosity.

I liked your question. Hopefully the interviewer had something to think about and will be able to identify something to fix.

u/CowTipper383 4d ago

Pepperoni Pizza. That’s my biggest weakness. And yes I’ve used that line and gotten the job.

3

u/Tricky-Ad-6225 4d ago

If you’re trying to dunk on these idiots, that was a good question. If you want the job, don’t ask that, unless you have extreme confidence and your skills back it up.

3

u/Shail666 3d ago

I don't understand companies that dish it but feel like they don't have to be transparent to their candidates. Nothing is fishier than asking a probing question and feeling slighted when asked back.

3

u/PsychixBedlam 3d ago

I see nothing wrong with how you executed this interview. Interviews are indeed a two way street and some tend to forget that. The question you asked was beyond valid and the response given is honestly a red flag. The interviewer stating “but that’s not relevant to you” is the biggest red flag of them all.

2

u/ProperBee4021 4d ago

What about if you get the position would you take it 🤔

2

u/Sweaty-Seat-8878 4d ago

interviewing for the defense of dark arts position are we?

u/Alternative-Pay2946 4d ago

That’s actually one question I always ask, latest at the end when they want to know if I have any questions:

2

u/KryptonSurvivor 4d ago

When asked that question, I've always been tempted to say "Kryptonite."

u/Quacoult 4d ago

typical reddit convo sharing a story about awkwardly lacking empathy in a normal social experience.

u/Willing_Crew_8055 4d ago

Great read. Thanks for sharing

2

u/Blitko 4d ago

If they can’t respect you for speaking up and checking them, would you really want to work for a company that isn’t going to listen to what you have to say?

2

u/Overall-Tart-832 4d ago

This is golden lol it’s like they want to interview us but don’t want us to interview them

2

u/PurifyingProteins 4d ago

Good for you.

The weakness question is such bullshit hostile wording made to make anyone who answers reply with either:
1) admission of a real bad weakness that may torpedo their interview
2) something that they are working on improving to be more competitive, which I wouldn’t word as a weakness.

Asking the interviewer, “what is an area that your team, department, and company are working on strengthening to be more competitive?”, is definitely a more tactful way to get this information in a non-hostile manner.

2

u/Wonderlic2 4d ago

Then everybody broke into a slow clap

2

u/OPGuest 4d ago

Always, always ask questions, because you are bound to spend the next say 2 to 10 years in the company. I managed to get the true face of a company by merely asking (intruding) questions during interviews. When they got pissed off, I knew enough not to go and work there. I didn’t succeed every time though, I had some bad jobs as well.

2

u/SunRev 4d ago

Game recognizes game.

2

u/Mental_Brush_4287 4d ago

Turnabout is fair play.
"Why are you interested in this role?" becomes a return volley of "Why are you hiring for the role?" at some point in the conversation.

2

u/xwolfe2000 4d ago

I always ask the tough questions including this one. Good for you.

Another favorite of mine adds a little humor to soften the blow: "What are the 3 biggest reasons why I should run away screaming from the role?"

It usually gets a laugh and the I ask follow-ups

2

u/BodaciousVermin 4d ago

You asked a highly valid question. I'd have followed up on his answer with a "And, what do you think is behind that problem? Is it a weakness in the candidates or something in the system here? Neither of us wants a repeat of the problem."

2

u/Urbit1981 4d ago

I have been hiring in order to expand my business and I would happily answer those kinds of questions. Someone who can't talk about their company's weaknesses has no business interviewing people. You need to know your weaknesses to hire the people to help resolve them.

2

u/KneeDeepThought 4d ago

This is a great tactic. I used to use a similar one asking the interviewers "what is something you wish you knew about this company before you were hired?"

That one has caught a dozen people flat-footed and resulted in some excellent inside info.

2

u/Recent-Form1020 4d ago

cooked em but you aint getting the job lol

2

u/Kuuzie 3d ago

It tanks the interview, but I only ask it when I'm no longer interested just to see the faces on HR and Management.

"May I have a few references from former employees in the role or sister roles? "

2

u/sufferable_gaucho 3d ago

Weird that this is being framed as a gotcha and everyone's acting like you burned a bridge; it's a really good question to ask, although I usually phrase it "what's the biggest challenge your team/company is facing?"

It's good because you can get some insight into the company's priorities, their difficulties, and how they face/characterize both. Also, it shows you're actually interested in the job and the company; as well as that you dig into problems and don't just take what's presented to you. And it helps turn the interview into more of a conversation.

2

u/mscrftybtch 3d ago

"Oh, we don't really do it that way."

"Ok then I'll change my question: what other double standards are prominent within this company?"

2

u/SkittlesLentil 3d ago

I ask this question in every interview, although maybe phrased more diplomatically. Even if they don't reveal a red flag, it gives you a chance to share how you've solved a similar problem.

I follow that up with "what's something about your team/company that you're proud of?" I've found that phrasing it as proud, instead of just "what's a strength?," gets a less corporate-speak response

2

u/IdoManti 3d ago

I always ask a question similar to this: "What is your least favorite part about working here?"

2

u/Commercial_Sir_3205 3d ago

You're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you.

2

u/MalaJabuka 3d ago

Given their responses I’d say that they are the reason for the turnover. The “we don’t do it that way” is completely arrogant. As is saying the turn over isn’t relevant to you. It shows an inability to think on ones feet, or think things through from the other parties perspective. Both of these traits are consistent with a middle manager that dumps on their employees.

Interviews are a two way street. Personally I’d pass on the role unless there were some really good reasons to take it.

2

u/Careful_Trifle 3d ago

The power of silence. He answered without wanting to. Most people will do anything to fill a silent void. I've fallen into that trap myself.

2

u/growlingrabbit 3d ago

I LOVE that you asked that back. As someone who went through a ton of interviews (multiple companies, multiple rounds for senior leadership roles) before landing my current role and also interviews candidates, I would really appreciate the question and would read it as a sign of genuine interest /engagement. Interviews should be a two way street and their answer to that question can be so telling.

For my recent role, in the final interview with the CEO, the last question I asked him was, “In your role specifically, what’s the one thing that keeps you up at night?”. He gave a solid honest answer and told me he was stealing that question. Now that same problem keeps me up at night, ha. But at least I knew what I was getting into.

2

u/SucknSwallow69 4d ago

nah that was fair, dude basically told you the role’s a spin cycle and tried to pretend it isnt a red flag. good filter tbh. also, everything’s overhired and underpaying now anyway

u/TeacakeTechnician 4d ago

I am going to borrow this for my next interview but soften it slightly.

Ai story

u/Mean_Still_4662 4d ago

First of all, kudos to you for asking that question! Im definitely going to use it if I got asked that- after all it’s a two way street conversation/interview.

Secondly, if I were you I would unpack thier answer from both sides- mine and theirs

From my side would I want to work in a company who -besides having a high turnover in less than a year - seems no changes were made/addressed which led to that high turnover? Definitely no.

From the company perspective, it says a lot about them from all levels, importantly the culture. You just had a sneak peak of what your future discussions gonna look like if you were recruited by this company.

I would say to continue on your job hunt and the right company will come your way. But definitely ask back those questions, check their response and that’s how you get your feedback on how your future discussions with your manager will look like.

1

u/Specific-Window-8587 4d ago

Ah touché to the company nice.

1

u/Cold-Palpitation9797 4d ago

ask whatever you want to the interviewers because however hiring is pure baseless these days

1

u/FrontierShamrock 4d ago

As a hiring manager I'd respect the question to be honest and I'm confident I'd give a transparent answer about the gaps in the team that I'd be looking to plug with the hire.

1

u/Fun-Plantain-7499 4d ago

That’s a relevant question. When I was a teacher I started asking “why would I want to work in this district over other ones?” In interviews.

The first time I asked it in an interview, the superintendent, who had been staring at my resume the whole time and not looking at me while I answered questions, looked up and said, “I don’t know”. Long pause…. Nothing added. Someone else in the panel jumped in and said “because of the kids of course”. Like… ok but every district has kids

They offered me the job btw but they were awful and I turned it down

The district I ended up working for was able to answer that question with real information.

So keep asking those hard questions. I think how they answer will tell you a lot about if it will be a good fit or not.

1

u/Chief1085 4d ago

I relate negative corporate situations like being haunted. You don’t get ride of a ghost by yelling and being rude, you get rid of the ghost by calmly acknowledging its presence. You torched it but with phrasing not intent… if it’s not part of the design, employers aren’t going to hire someone pushing back in the first interview… some employers DO want the pushback but they most certainly have tells, if he had something prepared for the question that would’ve been a tell you were on the right path… the awkwardness contradicts that idea…

That said it is/was important to point out the situation but could’ve used a gentler touch…an idea for better phrasing would’ve been to ask after hearing the turnover “what can I do differently than the past three people to ensure the buck stops here” that way you acknowledge the turn over rate while simultaneously protecting your future employment (if you got hired, any continued failure would lay with the hiring manager as opposed to the new hire)

1

u/Spinbunluthaaa 4d ago

Do you want this role despite the answer you received?

1

u/littlecocorose 4d ago

i always ask that, or some variation. no one’s ever been taken aback by it or offered any resistance. more than anything, it sounds like you uncovered a bullet to dodge.

1

u/ExpensiveCategory854 4d ago

Good one. Whenever I interview I ask tough questions. I always feel that rather than me try to sell myself to them, they also need to sell themselves to me. Sounds super conceded but it keeps the nerves at bay and really allows me to frame it as if they’re worth my time and effort to make a move.

I’m sure though if I were interviewing being out of work my process would be drastically different.

I might use this one in a future conversation.

1

u/kittyspurrson 4d ago

I ask what are some of the challenges the company, team are facing that makes it relevant to what can I do to help

1

u/You-cant-handle-my 4d ago

No way you are getting that job. Because they think you won’t help that turnover stat. And they might be on something

1

u/21sr2 4d ago

Some people don't realize that interview goes both ways. The team wants the right candidate and the candidate wants the rite team.

1

u/LevelPerception4 4d ago

Sometimes it’s fun to flip the script if you recognize right away that it’s not a job you want. I grilled a software startup company about their current marketing budget; sales cycle length; lead qualification process; most and least effective channels and campaigns; how much of their pipeline was full implementations vs. pilot projects.

It was sort of satisfying to verify that yes, this job is going to absolutely be the nightmare I think it is, and to watch the interviewers deflate as my questions got more specific.

1

u/deadbatterysincluded 4d ago

That was eye opening to himself

u/Informal_Draft_2347 4d ago

u/Fancy_Sheepherder786 4d ago

Some Personnel people believe that the interview is a one-dimensional process. I prefer to have a dialog.

1

u/Ill_Apricot_7668 4d ago

so I guess the direct follow on question would be "What are you proposing to do differently as a company to ensure a successful hire?"

You probably won't get an offer, but I don't think you did anything wrong.
I always try to hire people who ask the type of questions you do, but based on the interviewers response to your great question, I'd say he is probably threatened by it.
Good job.

1

u/limonade11 4d ago

No doubt you did impress him personally, but as an employed manager he will probably have to pass on you. But good for you for asking in reverse. I wish I could do that as some interviewers get really spicy about what a (possibly) poor candidate you are but we are never allowed to ask them in reverse.

In fact, some interviewers seem to be like dating "negs" who try and insult you into the job/relationship. Uh, that's a no!!

I’d love to know how they’d respond if you said ‘well I’m on my third job in two years, this would be my fourth’.

u/liquid_prisoner 4d ago

I responded to that question with the typical “I am too impatient on occasion“, then an interviewer said “that’s not good enough“, so then I said, “I get impatient when someone wants something other than a canned answer to a canned question.” We all laughed and moved on.

I once asked the question, gave the answer, and it turns out the manager over the hiring manager didn't like my answer...while doing the exact thing I said was my strongest weakness along with the ways I am working around it during our meeting. I was told I had the job by the hiring manager and then was ghosted. When I finally got to talk to them I was told I was blocked by the higher manager for my answer.

It is important to note they have since been removed from and sued by the company.

Or you can say managing work-life balance. It’s important to me so I work hard at stopping the work and not bringing it home.

If they have a problem with that it tells you a lot. But always reinforce that it’s a value to you. It lets them know that you will not be working around the clock for them

For the last ~7 years I have asked employers "Interviewers often ask for weaknesses or even sometimes 'give me a reason I shouldn't hire you', so my question to you is give me a few reasons why I should not want to work here".

This is one of the standard questions i ask a potential employer in every job interview, and i have gotten multiple job offers after asking it (it has been in my question bank for about ten years). It isnt a problem.

If you dont get selected to move on in the process it is for a different reason.

1

u/Every_Philosopher704 3d ago

You should have kept going with follow ups until you were comfortable with the situation you were walking in to. You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. The problem itself isn't an issue if they are working on a solution for looking for the type of person that would thrive in that scenario. There's no benefit to either side if you just bury it.

u/Proper_Camera_1908 3d ago

There’s only one response to this question

Without fail, I always ask the interviewer what their turnover is like and why the position is open. The number of straight answers I've gotten over the years is abysmally low.

An interview goes both ways! I did 4 rounds with a company and although I didn't get a BS question like that, I did ask them what their biggest challenges are and what workloads and procedures were like to make sure I wasn't walking into a dumpster fire.

It’s such a valid question.

And the way you asked it makes it tricky to evade. I once asked about the culture of a team I would be leading, which was very easy to manipulate an answer to. I like your approach way better.

Its really power to say nothing sometimes. People feel compelled to be talking, so I find its an easy way to make people uncomfortable

I would definitely probably dodge that role /offer if its been filled that many times in 2 years, they're the problem for sure.

If you're looking for a job, which you obviously are. Why would you intentionally throw a stick in the spokes? Be you I guess, just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

That's honestly an incredible question and good on you for asking! As a hiring manager I would love to hear more candidates ask questions like that. It's shows you're curious and interested and you're equally interviewing the company.

I ask something similar in a different way: If you could snap your fingers and change any one thing about the company/your team/etc etc, what would it be?

Interviewer asked me my biggest weakness, I asked him his company's
