"Could you please explain how decisions are made regarding corporate strategy at the executive leadership level?"

"We smile and nod at the devs, and then go spend long romantic weekends with the sales team."

If you don't need the job, really do ask them these hard questions. Your personal financial stability is on the line, so be very careful about joining a company that is this detached from its customers.

If they are applying for an engineering position the people interviewing won’t be able to answer them and the HR interviewer might just cross him out of the list entirely.

Back in the day Unity used to have company wide discussions before most very major decisions (even when they still had 500-1000 employees). That’s long past. Hardly anyone in the company knew anything about the new price model before it was announced.

Please report back any questions you ask them :)

“So are you guys…okay right now?”, but more interviewy

Good luck! Better use this advantage.
