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

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.

Lots of companies have strings attached, you are allowed to ask if there are strings before they are presented to you on a platter.
