There are a few universal questions:

  • Why did you choose to work here?
  • How does your company make money?
  • What would your main expectations be from me if we decide to work together?

After that, the best questions come from you and your experience.

  • Start a document with the title "Top ten things that annoyed me most in my career so far"
  • Write down those ten things
  • Then turn those them into questions for the the people you meet.

Not yes/no questions, those are boring and limited, but open questions.

For example if at your previous job you were frustrated because you had no time for training and were supposed to do it in your week-end, you can ask something like:

What to do you do to help programmers grow in their craft?
