  • who are you most important customers?
  • what pain point do you solve for them?
  • how do you make money?
  • how do you collect and use feedback?
  • what is your approach to testing?
  • why were you interested by me?
  • what do you expect from employees?
  • which non technical aspects of my work do you find important, and how do you make time for them?

Why is it important who their customers are and why that pay?

I mean, when you apply you should already have an idea about their product. Who is it for shouldn't matter that that much.
Curios to find out, maybe there's have angle I haven't considered yet.

Grray idea about feedback and softskills. Gonna use these ones too, nex time

I have been burned enough working on projects that waited way too much to do a public release or to start charging customers money.
This is a sure receipt for gold-plating and bike shedding.
Without paid customers, you don't have a compass of what is important to do next.
If they don't have paid customers, I want to know it and to know if they have a real plan to go there.

Without understanding the users, you can't do good work IMHO.
