Of all my interview questions[0], the favorite is "what is the biggest technical thorn in the company's side." It gets a different response from every person, which gives an interesting perspective of a company.

Another question that yields different responses from everyone that I like to ask: "what is your more favorite and what is your least favorite thing about working here?"


I aks for three of each, because the first one in each category is predictable and therefore not useful.


I end my interviews with "what is your favorite part of working at X". The last thing they will remember from your interview will be positive.
