If you want to have a "good question" at the end of the interview, try this:
"What's something people struggle with in this role that usually doesn't become obvious until a few months in?"
What I like about this question is that it is a pretty neat way to break HMs out of the script for. Have you tried something like it, or would you?

I'll ask an easy softball question like "what do you like about working here?", then I'll follow-up with "ok, what do you NOT like about working here and would like to change?". They usually don't expect that, but it's a fair question because not every company is perfect. And if they say otherwise or they can't think of anything they're lying.

Thanks for sharing!

I would not presume or project any sort of problem exists either in the role or with the people being hired by a particular manager. Many professionals get hired and don't have notable issues with theor job at any time frame.

This is a horribly presumptuous question IMO.
