Got into 2nd round of interviews and so far I have 3 questions that ask about the company's work ethic, culture, and significant challenges they may be facing. The benefits and other HR stuff was already covered in the first interview. What else would you ask on a second interview? I'd like to get at least 3 more questions.

To capollar - I like to have 5 or 6 questions so that if some happen to be answered prior to my asking, I am not stuck at the end twiddling my thumbs when they ask if I have any questions. I usually ask one or two based on conversation, and another couple that I wrote down prior to the interview.

Your second interviews means your background (on paper) is what they are looking for.
At the second interview the employer is looking for a reason NOT to hire you.
Ask for more detailed information regarding the projects you will be working. Ask to see how their software works. Ask to see the area where you will be working. Ask follow-up questions regarding the topics they ask you about. Also, look up their website and ask them about something you have already read on the website.
Be calm, think through your answers and you will do fine.
Best Wishes!

A 2d interview is often the time even as they're choosing between purely 2 or 3 applicants. We in ordinary words do 2d interviews for 1st and 2d applicants -- in the different case it really is a waste of time. in case you acquire a 2d interview (and this is not a company interest, like IBM or something), then you truthfully have an extremely good danger of having the interest. yet understand that there are nevertheless probably a million or 2 different human beings in rivalry for the region. 2d interviews are frequently to introduce different individuals of the prevailing crew and ascertain none of them hate you (this is why we've 2d interviews). good success!

You might have it nailed. I would break down the significant challenge question into separate inquiries about major competitors, disrupter technology, and how well spread out their customer base is. (are they dependent upon a few large customers for a significant amount of business)

probably the best thing to do is ask questions that stem from the second interview/conversation
It will show that you were listening, it will show interest and it may answer a legitimate question that comes to you
p.s., why the desire to have 6 questions, do you think that 6 cookie cutter questions is going to impress them?

I would ask them if there's room for advancement like a raise or promotion, maybe about their dress policy and lunch schedule, benefits.
