    As to "gotcha" questions ('what's your biggest weakness?') I'd argue that being able to truthfully say "I haven't thought about it much" has the advantage of honesty while also deflecting a ham-handed attempt to rattle you. With any luck, they won't be adversarial like that. It benefits no one.

I like those questions. They let me know I'm interviewing somewhere I don't want to be early. Nothing worse than wasting half the day interviewing before realizing you want nothing to do with these people.
