What is the goal of this organization? How is it crystalized or reinforced by the organization?
What are its values? Where is the evidence or how is this evident?
How do they do meetings (in the Company)?
The following are insightful examples of questions a candidate should ask:
Who do I report to in this position?
What is his background?
Where does this job fit in the general organization?
What type of projects will I work on first?
What problems will I solve up front?
What are the short term/long term goals of the company?
What was the profile of the last person in this position?
Describe the profile of a successful employee at your company?
Tell me about the ideal skills needed for the position?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the department?
Goals to convey as a candidate for a position are threefold: 1) to get a strong feel for the quality, personality, and style of the person, 2) to assess how well he or she lines up with the requirements for the job, and 3) to sell the opportunity. I feel that I am simultaneously "buying," in the sense of evaluating the individual, and "selling," in the sense of making the candidate more interested in the job.
