Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.

  lol no. If a company can’t answer what my work hours are gonna be before we even have the first interview, I’m not wasting my time.

  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.

  To stay in the dating metaphor:

  Would you want the other party to be upfront about serious issues, or prefer to get to know that down the line?

  In dating terms these are topics like “do you have children from a previous relationship” or “i plan to move to a different state in a few months”.

  If you dont respect the other side enough to discuss these things right away, the relationship is destinend to fail.

    I don’t think the questions on the list do that.

      Working hours, medical insurance, probation period and notice to current employer are all pretty damn crucial.

        If #4 is medical insurance, sure.
        Probation period and notice to employer assume that you’ve landed the job and is presumptive to do so before the offer.
        #6 is good. Weekly acticities is a weird question, but indicative of something important.

        The rest are important after an offer.
