An equally interesting, and perhaps more useful, question I always follow that with is "What's the worst thing about workign here"... The cop out answer is usually 'it's a big company so you get some politics and inefficiencies'.. I suppose a good follow up would be; "how does the company intend to change this going forward?" or even "how does it compare to other places you've worked"

As an interviewer I loath that question.

Why would I invest my time interviewing you only to turn around and tell you something that might make you decide not to work here.

It depends on your priorities. Do you just need someone to come and fill a spot or would you prefer someone that's actually a good mutual fit for the role?
