Questions to Ask at the End of an Interview

A question that I see come up time and time again is what questions to ask at the end of the interview. Many interviewers ask if you have any questions for them after they have finished going through their list of questions for you. This is the time to ask any lingering questions for them. However, if you need ideas of what to ask, here are some suggestions, some of which were compiled from a PI Facebook group and others that I have added myself. Some of these may be more applicable to a recruiter and others may be better suited for the department hiring manager, so use your best judgement for the audience of these questions.These aren't necessarily Disney internship specific and may be helpful when applying to full time positions with Disney or other companies.

Enjoy and good luck!
