Why are you hiring for this position?
Basically, the idea with this line of questioning is to figure out why they're hiring for this position. There are some potential red flags with this. It could be that they're just wanting to hire for a particular project and they will discard you afterwards. It could be that there is little or no direction or that the direction is set from outside of the immediate organization (can be good or bad). The organization may be having a lot of turnover due to management shake-ups or chaotic, indecisive, management.

Who will I be working with?
What project will I be assigned to and what is the status of that project?
These questions should give you an idea about how well they're prepared to bring you onto the team. I've been hired into jobs and ended up waiting 2-3 weeks before I had a PC.
