Yeah Really a good post!!!!!....
If you talk negative about the company this shows your negative attitude so the interviewer will have a big question about your selection so all the professionals leave the company because of Better prospectus, Better pay, Better Company (Brand Name), Internal Politics....It's better to indicate some of your personal reason for quitting the company please do not say like personal reasons Define your problem at first to avoid a chace to the intervier to raise an question...

Some great answers here from all the participants.
YES , no company would ever trust any potential candidate who bad mouths his previous employers simply because he would do the same about your company when he leaves you.
We all have heard that people don't leave companies, they leave their supervisors,managers because of how they were made to feel.
What is the purpose of the interviewer in asking this question in the first place? Is it to find out how bad the previous company was or is it to find out the motivation and ambition of the candidate? I believe it is to find out the motivation, ambition and values of the candidate, and as such if you go out there and bad mouth your previous company , it really doesn't reflect positively on your values.
Its great to see so many wonderful perspectives on such a simple question...Let the discussion continue.

Hi Readers !!
Please do keep in mind ... Negative feedback is different than Bad Mouthing in my query !!
Bad Mouthing / Name Calling is always unacceptable and poor presentation on candidate's part !!

Dear Sir,
One cann't find out the attitude of the interviewer fully during interview. Some interviewees may not have much experience in attending interviews but may be skilled and ethical. Sometimes, the interviewees under the fear of interview they could not answer the questions as expected. In India the medium of language used in interviews is English. Some interviewees may not have fluency in English and hence could not express his thoughs freely. Therefore, they tell some answer in which they are able express themselves on the spot. In my opinion interviews should be conducted in the vernucular language to reveal the real aptitude of the interviewee. Please, we should understand that language should not be a barrier.
If required the fluency of English may be tested separtely depends on the nature of the job.

Hi Chandrasekaran
A good thought !! But not applicable to majority of Job vacancy in Indian Economy. I dont have the accurate statistics to back my opinion, but I can generally say that; Majority of Jobs generated in India are catering to overseas (Americas, Europe, Other countries) Clientele, common language in English. So a candidate must have acceptable levels of English Communication.
Your idea is applicable to those jobs where, candidate's mental intellect can be utilized for the jobs where direct communication with English Speaking Clientele or Customer is negligent.However one must have good comprehension skills in english language.
Mr Chandra, Frankly speaking .. English has become a mandatory part of our lives, be it business or employment. It advisable that our brothers and sisters take an effort to learn. We are never old to learn, and its not impossible to learn !
Compassionate employers / Interviewers / HRs look beyond language barriers to assess the candidate of his / her true potential, when English Speaking is not part of the Job requirement.
