""Do you have any questions?" Your answer, "None at all, you were very clear. Thank you for giving me such an excellent opportunity. I doubt I'll have any questions, but if something comes up I'll be sure to get in touch." "

No no a thousand times no. I've interviewed hundreds and what this answer says is "I couldn't be bothered to work up any curiosity about the company or the job, and my hour or two here in one room with maybe a quick tour if I'm lucky is all I give a shit about". Fry cooks can maybe get away with that but anybody with any decision making responsibility gets a big red mark. There are always pertinent questions regardless of the thoroughness of the interview. Standbys like the below will work 99% of the time if you can't think on your feet (although more specific versions are better):

Without prying for details, what seems to be the number one reason for job turnover here, either voluntary or involuntary?

What is the principal leadership style that is well regarded here?
