Interviews work both ways: employers select employees, employees select employers.

Unfortunately often employees forget that part of the goals of an interview. An employer never forgets its goal.

Of course the asymmetry stems principally from who pais whom and secondarily from who can wait more to find a better fit. Sometimes that's the employee.

If one is not desperate to get a salary immediately, it helps thinking that the company applied for an interview and agreed to let the interviewer come and inspect their premises, their personnel and their processes. The right questions derive from that realization. By the way, that's what auditors do.
