[QUOTE="Jen E C, post: 37913, member: 485"] Asking what makes them unique compared to similar firms is probably an example of a question you could figure out yourself from doing research on them and their competitors. It's also quite broad, I would try to make the question a little more specific eg I know both you and XYZ both/all do ABC - what does the firm do to distinguish itself? Why do clients choose you over them? Besides the great ones mentioned in the thread linked above, some other points worth asking/thinking about: [LIST] [*]The growth of the firm, its strategy, and how that affects day to day working. Are they looking to grow a particular sector/office? What does it mean for the type of work they are doing day to day? [*]Why did they choose the firm, and what keeps them there? [*]Even if the firm has X technology, what is their personal experience with it? [*]How supported do they feel while working (particularly trainees)? [*]What are typical trainee tasks in X department? (this could allow you to compare between firms and the level of responsibility). [*]What is the firm's attitude towards managing a work/life balance? [*]How would a deal typically operate eg what size teams they work in, how many offices tend to be involved? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
