> No need to fall into us vs them rhetoric Sure. My point is that there is a lot of pig-lipstick application when you get generously offered two minutes at the end of an interview to ask questions. Not because they are sociopaths, I think a lot of it comes out of a sense that they should not bad mouth their employer, or that they have to seduce candidates or they won't come. > you can just say the truth in a way that does not sound like you blame everyone but yourself People are generally bad at interviewing. You might get lucky and find someone who has the finesse to understand the situation you were in and how it's not generally relevant to your performance in their own context - in my opinion and based on a significant number of data points, I wouldn't risk it. I have heard interviewers in debriefs for developer roles telling that the candidate wasn't motivated because they weren't looking at the camera or because they didn't ask strong questions during the last of 4 interviews, or that they were lacking a sense of humour because they didn't laugh at their joke, or that they had a weak personality because they were anxious during the interview.
