I received a call to schedule an interview for next week. The concept of interviewing for a job I formerly held seems a bit odd although I wouldn't expect an offer without some sort of vetting process. Any suggestion as to how I might best evaluate my options? My current company has been in existence for just over 20 years, with steady growth over the past 3 years. Business is split approximately 50/50 between US feral gov't and commercial customers. My former company is based in the UK. The US based operation that I would support relies on US gov't orders for about 30% of its business with the balance coming from US and international commercial customers (fairly large ship related construction). I am in a quandary as to how to evaluate either business from a long-term viability perspective. Either company presents a challenge; my goal (overstating the obvious) is to go with the company offering the longest term challenge. What sort of questions would you recommend I ask during the interview...current backlog, future prospects in the sales funnel, etc?

As always, thanks for your time and insight.
