Too right. I've been in on a lot of interviews, and only rarely has the person asked questions about the working conditions, the state of the development tools, and other relevant things. The people who did were either very good at their job, or troublemakers. Or both. lol
So when I went job hunting this year, I asked some of those questions. Not as many as I should have, but enough. I'm pretty pleased with the results.
The questions also tell the prospective employer things about you, as well. How much you know about a functional work environment, how likely you are to try to change internal processes, etc. It can be good or bad, depending on your attitude and questions.
