I'm trying to find a good way to find out about work culture at different companies during interviews.

I'm conscious that most interviewers will be politically correct and provide a generic answer, but I still ask them "why did you choose xxx, and why do you stay at xxx?"

Besides Glassdoor reviews and actually asking directly during the interview. Are there anything else that you use to assess?
