I think it depends on where you are in the interview process. If it's a first-round interview you're there to "sell yourself." Participate in the interview by asking questions (in moderation), not just answering them. Be yourself and if you don't know the answer to a question just say you don't know the answer. (If there's something you do know that's related, explain how this knowledge would help you.) I'd avoid asking questions about benefits, hours and advancement in the first round. Questions showing that you've done some research about the company/product are always good. The question I like for the end of the first-round interview is, "Are there any areas of my resume or skill set that you feel prevent me from being qualified for this position?" This gives the interviewer the ability to raise any concerns that they might have and you the ability to ease them.

For second-round interviews I think the gates are more open. In theory they believe you can fill the position and now they need to confirm their initial thoughts and make sure you're a good fit for the company. You need to do the same. There have been some good questions posted already that will help you get an idea of the corporate culture and work environment.

All in all, try to relax and be yourself. Talk clearly and not too quickly. Most interviewers aren't trying to trick or stump you.
