Not sure if it's reasonable to expect people to badmouth their current employer in an interview, especially when you don't know the result of the interview.

The last ex-Amazonian I interviewed managed to express his discomfort with Amazon without "badmouthing" anything or anyone. I was impressed with his diplomacy. We hired him.

So it becomes an interview of diplomacy essentially. Not really sure if that's ideal. I could see many false negatives of people who are technically strong, uncomfortable with their employer's ethics but still avoiding the topic so as not to say too much by mistake.

In this particular case it was an engineering manager position. Diplomacy is part of the job description.
