Maybe it's the wrong approach, but I treat an entire interview as back-and-forth conversation… especially for a specific position.

Questions demonstrate curiosity in the role you're being hired for and give you an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge about and empathy for your ultimate end-users… not to mention allowing you to get a feel for the culture of the team and company you're about to spend a large amount of your time working at.

I've always appreciated people who interview like this and on the rare chance that I'm interviewing someone, I focus on maintaining a conversation too.

Really draws the line between a conglomerate firm and a company that actually cares at a personal (sort of) level.
