The interviewer wants to see if you've done your homework ahead of time and researched their company and the position. They also want to see if you were listening carefully while they told you about the job and what aspects of the job you found most interesting.
Spend time looking through the company's website, social media profiles, and even GlassDoor reviews before the interview. Choose questions you could not find the answers to yourself. You can also ask for further clarification on something the interviewer mentioned earlier in the interview. Another great question to ask is why the position is vacant and how long of a timeline they are looking at for filling it.
"I noticed in the benefits packet you emailed me that tuition reimbursement is capped at 1,500 a year. We also talked a little bit ago about the company supporting the pursuit of certifications like the SHRM-CP or CEBS. Some certifications, like CEBS, cost more than 1,500. If I wanted to work on earning the CEBS designation, how would that work?"
