This is a really good starting point. Questions can obviously go deeper, relative to the particular industry, to learn more about a company. The main point is not only the information you get, but gauging responses to those questions.

If you're being interviewed, turn yourself into the interviewer at this stage. Be prepared -- take notes, bring materials from the website or other content to reference during the conversation, and have your questions planned out thoughtfully ahead of time.

Generally, a recruiter is not the best person to ask questions, though. Try to ask questions to the hiring manager. Strive to learn the organizational/corporate pain points. Ask questions to gain information, but also to get beyond understanding "culture" to understanding biases and preferences. Rarely do interviewers make that clear, in spite of the intentions of their communication.

Last, one general comment about questions: if they can't be answered to your satisfaction, mark it as a red flag. If you, the candidate, can think about something in the short term and a business that's focused on that thing can't or won't respond in a way that's clear, that should be a clear indication of a problem.
