I don't use question time to impress the interviewers, that's what the previous hour was about.
I use the end of the interview to find out if I actually want to work for the company. There's nothing worse than going through the whole process of getting a job then finding out you hate it.
I ask about the office culture, if everyone works the same hours or has to dress a certain way. I ask about why the previous person left and whether there is a lot of overtime expected because I value work-life balance.
The interview is a two way street, I am also interviewing the company to see if I want o bring my talents there. I've declined job offers because of things that have come up in the interviews. For ex: the president was a huge d!ck, I expected the company to fail, employees were not allowed to leave the premises for lunch etc etc.
