Interview Topic: Questions for the Interviewer

Thinking about the best questions/discussion topics to ask at the end of an interview to fill the 10 minutes of leftover time that could be awkward silence if I am not prepared with questions. Was thinking about topics related to culture, how associates are involved in IC processes, prior deals, etc. Wondering if anyone here who has already interviewed or is on the buyside currently has a few questions that landed well with the interviewer.
