Usually at the end of the interview the interviewer will ask the candidate whether they have any questions. Some candidates just say no, they don’t have any questions. That is the wrong approach.
You won’t look good as a candidate if you say you don’t have any questions. It might look like you’re not really interested in the company and the position, or that you’ve just given up on getting the job. You need to probe further about the things you’re curious about that weren’t fully covered in the interview.
Sometimes the interviewer will ask whether you are familiar with the company. If you show that you are knowledgeable about the company and its their products, the interviewer can skip talking at length about the organization. However, that does not mean you can skip the Q&A portion entirely; rather, it should lead to your asking more intelligent questions.
Also if you get the sense that the interviewer is uncertain about you as a candidate, you should use this time to reiterate your skills and qualifications. If you feel that you’re strong in a skill that may be important in the job but which the interviewer has not covered, feel free to point out your strength in that area. And don’t’ be afraid to ask the interviewer if they have any other questions for you.
If you truly have no questions you can think of to ask the interviewer, try asking about the work environment, tools used, size of the company, etc. These are all relatively straightforward (if dull) questions.

I've always had good success with asking my questions throughout the interview. Its always good to get the interviewer talking.
Often, after multiple rounds of interviews, I tend to just say at the end that all the questions I had were already answered.
