Yes, you’d expect so, however on average you’ll be applying to 100 jobs per 1 interview, and if you get an interview with a company that doesn’t list it, it’s another 100 applications before one rolls around, might as well take the interview and ask.
Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.
otp@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoI feel like the answer to some of these questions would/should be answered in either the job application or the job offer. I get not wanting to wait for the job offer, but a company not offering that info is a red flag imo. Personally, I’d ask before signing the official offer, and not at the job interview. I’d also probably go for more general questions.
“What does a typical work day look like?”
“What is the overall compensation package?” Though this one can be a bit taboo

“What is the overall compensation package?”
This should be discussed as part of salary expectations. In fact talking about the overall compensation is a recommendation to avoid giving a specific number when asked what salary range you are expecting. (“That depends on other compensation factors such as how much time off I get in a year and medical benefits coverage.”)
Doing this got me an extra $1000 a year as my starting salary at my previous job when their medical benefits were not as good as what I had at the time.

why the heck would someone want to waste time with an interview process if they don’t know the most basic expectations and compensation? no, i don’t think you should have to wait for an official offer to learn things like hours and benefits.

Based on the OP, they didn’t have the answers to these questions when they accepted the interview. These should be presented by the business along with the job offer, or they’ll come along with the job offer.
