I want to understand what other questions I can ask my buddy that will be helpful to me in the interview process. Thanks in advance.
Ask qualitative questions, ask for his/her advice on the work / people / staffing / ... Your goal is to build rapport and sound interesting. Nothing better than asking open questions.
PS: don't forget to find commonalities also, such as alma matter (obviously), but also favorite teams, background, passions...
