My favorite question is "What do you generally do for lunch around
here?" The answer usually gives some insight into the corporate
culture; for example, "We never have time to actually go out to lunch,
so we generally have food delivered from Takeout Taxi and management
is pretty generous about their Food For Morale distribution program;
all of our big planning meetings are catered and the troops get to
graze on the leftovers, too."
