I conducted many interviews during my time in management and the above statement would be like getting a ten page resume! Honestly, this should be the first line in a cover letter but does not belong in an interview.

There is nothing wrong with complaining about your employer i.e. the company changed ownership and benefits have been cut, etc.. OR there's been a management change and I don't get along with the new manager. This happens all the time and is nothing to be afraid to mention. It will often bring more questions that will shed light on your own personality, work ethic, etc..

Also, having done my share of job hunting, I always felt that if the interviewer judged me solely based on one sentence without further elaboration or clarification then they didn't deserve me.
