At the end of most every interview, the employer will ask, “Do you have any questions for me?” This is where candidates gets to probe about the job, company, and management style. A Reddit user posed this question:  “Employers of Reddit, what’s the most memorable ‘Do you have any questions’ question you’ve received in an...
