You DO NOT want to put the interviewer in an awkward or embarrassing position; 

People remember how you made them feel much more than what you said. 

An awkward or uncomfortable feeling is definitely not something you want the interviewer to associate with you.

Examples of this kind of questions that you should avoid are: 
- "I know your company just went through a major restructuring last year. Why are you hiring again this year?”
- "I heard this role has been open for over 6 months already. Why are you guys taking so long to find someone?"

Better ways to raise these questions are: 
- "What are the key drivers for the firm's current expansion?"
- "I heard this role has been open for over 6 months. What has been the main challenge in identifying the right person?"
