The question I always ask is "What did you talk about at your last team lunch?" This gives me a sense for what the team's values are; Is it all social? All business? Is there a common thread or interest they were talking about? Were they talking tech or toys or sports? A whole lot of observations you can draw from the anecdote, and most interviewers will expound on team dynamic from that question.

If it was the week after Re-invent, we probably talked about AWS. If it was the week after Switch came out, it was probably about Zelda... If it was the week after a major internal announcement, it was probably about that...
