Softballs??

Why would an organization send out someone to do an interview and they aren't thoroughly qualified to answer questions? If I ask an interviewer a question and he/she doesn't know the answer, all they have to say is that they don't know. If I have to lob slow softballs to the person who's doing the interview, is this really the place I want to work?

Not asking about office politics

The office politics can make or break your experience at a job, if the interviewee completely avoids asking any questions that might help him/her to better understand the politics and culture of the office, there could be bigger problems later on.

Being too careful

If asking an interviewer if he likes working for the company makes the interviewer uncomfortable, then I'm not sure I really want the job.
