These are questions for after receiving an offer.

The questions you should ask now would be along the lines of management style, corporate culture, and team dynamics. It’s the first few dates, not a marriage proposal.

I disagree. They’re important for me to know if I want to keep pursuing this job opportunity or if I should stop wasting our time. I don’t want to do a second or third interview only to find out afterwards about all these factors. I could be out there interviewing for other jobs in the meantime, not in a second interview at this shitty company that doesn’t want to tell me how shitty it is until they’ve offered e the job.

I don’t see how answering any of these question in s straight forward and honest way would reveal if this company is shitty or not. Their ability to provide free parking is far an indicator of quality.

Interesting that you cherry picked that one… I would consider work hours and whether or not you’ll get health insurance to be pretty consequential

I did say it wasn’t consequential, I said it wasn’t an indicator of if it was a shitty company.

OK. But those things definitely are.

Free parking, insurance, hell… Even weekly activities don’t necessarily make or prevent a company from being shitty. #6 could be an indicator, but by itself, it’s not enough.

Not providing health insurance definitely makes a company shitty.

You realize it doesn’t say that and this wasn’t happening in the US. The candidate pulled out a piece of A4 paper. Something not used in the US very often.
