Candidate questions about onboarding, CI/CD processes, and on-call duties during production outages

Candidate questions about onboarding, CI/CD, and on-call duties are usually aimed at understanding the processes within the team and company.

• Onboarding: How is the adaptation process for new employees? Is there documentation, a mentor, training materials? What are the initial tasks assigned to newcomers?

• CI/CD: What tools are used for automation of build, testing, and deployment? How are the pipelines structured? How is code quality and security ensured during releases?

• On-call duties: How is incident response organized in production? Is there a rotation for on-call shifts, and what communication channels and monitoring tools are used? How quickly does the team respond to issues?

Such questions help the candidate understand the culture, level of automation, and support within the team, as well as prepare for real tasks after hiring.
