I have no problem coming up with 3 or even 5 questions... We are talking 4 people plus two recruiters for one job. And I had two sets for two companies. I try not to use the same ones over an over because it starts to sound canned. I ask the where is the company headed type things. But the ones I almost always ask is how do you evaluate my success? How do you communicate room for improvement? Or some flavor of that. I've worked with people who expect you to read their minds and besides not having those magic powers I am particularly poor at picking up signals. Beyond that the big deal breaker is atmosphere and you kind of just have to soak that in and be observant. A lot of the time I use it to point out what resonated with me.

My biggest rant today is really about having to listen to the answer which either the recruiter doesn't really know or I will need to ask the company regardless. Oh and then there are the "how did it go" calls afterwords. They all knew I had two interviews so I had to go through the same spiel and q&a 3 times. Honestly I chose this field partly because I don't like talking all day! Sales people... Kinda drive me nuts.
