I never would have thought of "Find out where they recruit talent". At first I thought that might be a good question. But your interviewers could namedrop contracting agencies or say they go to the UG meetings and other meetups, and the place could still suck. Useless question imo.<p>Something of critical importance is to do your best to judge morale. In fact, a simple question of "How is your morale?" is easy enough. If those that you ask that can't answer that <i>immediately</i>, or you they just can't convince you they are telling the truth, something is definitely wrong.
