    I use a similar question that I don’t mind anyone else copying. I ask if they like to work there, similar to the “in 5 years” question they’ll fumble with a response if it’s bad because I don’t think that many people ask this. Upside is that it doesn’t sound like a generic question either, which the “in 5 years” one does, just a healthy curiosity.

      I’m on the interview rotation and absolutely hate my company. I have a canned answer for this question and it sounds genuine.

      And I give every person I interview a recommendation because I want to get out of here.

      Yes it’s fair, it’s human, it’s literal, it seeks to elucidate. It’s the perfect question to ask the interviewer.
