To be honest, you can just say “I don’t have anything to add on that subject” and people will get the impression. No one ever says that about companies they like so you know when people shut down that something was up.

“What was the company culture like?” “Etc. platitude so on and so forth”

“And I heard the CEO was a total dickbag. Was that your experience working with him?” “I don’t have anything to add on that subject”

Of course going back and forth on that won’t really work but to different people you can’t be expected to not say the nice things and then someone could build up a story based on that.
