Applicant side: "What's the biggest struggle that you're currently working through?" coupled with "Tell me a bit about how you're working through that struggle."

I find this tells me a lot about the person who's interviewing me and the current climate they're operating in. Asking follow-up questions helps a lot here too. It's a good way to find out if the interviewer (frequently the hiring manager) is struggling with an unmotivated team, overly-onerous bureaucracy, lack of funding, staff turnover, outdated software, etc.
