What are your coding standards?  (Do they even have any?  Do they make
sense?  Are they current?  One place I worked had as a standard to always
check that a pointer is non-NULL before freeing it.  Made perfect sense
in the early days but unnecessary and a waste with ANSI/ISO C.)

Do you do code reviews?  If so, who all is involved?

One general question I usually ask that has nothing to do with C but with
benifits: have you changed medical insurers recently?  How often in the
last five years?  (One place I worked changed plans three times within a
year.)
