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.

Honestly, those questions are about the culture.
If they say in their opinions, top performers work 12hrs/day for example, then you know what type of work environment it will be, and if work/life balance is important to you, you know it's not a fit.
Additionally, EVERYONE asks about culture, etc... it is questions like these that will make you stand out more in their minds. JMO
