I feel like some of the questions will get very unsatisfying answers for jobs with consulting work. I had this in multiple interviews where people only spoke for their past and current customers and projects. They work alone with the customer - maybe w/ one more colleague - and the lines can blur between what is customer company culture is like and what is the actual of the company. Asking for objectives can yield answers like "we do what makes the customer happy" or "it depends on the project". I think, in these cases it might be best to find out how they deal with conflict and negative experiences in projects, assignment of projects and everything around the customer rather then the work at the customer - even if this type of work will take a bigger part the the stuff around. Definitely not an expert on this (yet). But maybe a topic for another video. Thank you for this one!
Thank you for the insight! It's true, consulting work can be quite different both in expectations and in culture since as you say, it's more about the client than the company itself.
For my final question I always like to ask if there is anything that they have concerns with regarding my my experience etc that I can address before leaving so I can tackle anything like that head on

Always a great closing question
