What is the most important question to ask when interviewing for a role? For me, I want to know more about morale, maybe something along the lines of what is turnover like?

I want to know about the company culture. Are people encouraged to speak up or keep in line? How is conflict handled?

I've heard it suggested that you should always ask what happened with the last person to hold the position. Were they promoted internally, or did they leave the organization? It's a good question, but it might be awkward to inject it into the conversation, depending on how things are going.

I like to ask "How has the team changed over the past year?" and "What tends to be the most common reason people leave this role or team?", and always ask follow-up questions depending on what they say.

One of my favorites to ask is what qualities and characteristics do you notice in an employee/candidate that tend to excel in this role? It usually gives you super valuable insight into what the company is looking for. Or it stumps the interviewer lol. I've had it go both ways.

Your future and goal in five years, when you employ people employ those who are passionate not those who just want the money
