what questions should I ask job interviewers?

Well 4chan, I've just graduated university and when I move up North I'm going to be looking for a job.

I'm one of those slackers who never bothered getting a job while in college, so I'm going to try to emphasize what I learned rather than the fact I have no references or "real world" experience.  I think I pretty much know what to emphasize and tout.

What I don't know is what to ask the job interviewer.  What sort of things should I look for in a company?  Most of the questions I have are related to a company's morals (stop laughing) -- for example if I have a feeling they'll have me work on DRM or "Trusted" Computing, I'll scratch out that company as one to work for.  Other than that, what other sort of information is good to get out of a job interviewer when I'm a job-newbie/programmer-journeyman?

that's fair enough. my personal take on it is that avoiding projects/jobs based on the language is a massive shortcoming. perhaps choosing an application domain over another is more of a valid reason. you'd seldom see java used in embedded devices.

having said that, the trend is moving... im' seeing serial-ethernet converters with jvm support straight out of the box. plc with jvm and web servers. yep you guessed it, xml support etc.

it isn't all manager talk. no managers would choose buzz words over existing working solutions.
