4. Don’t drill down into company insurance policy questions related mental health benefits or pregnancy policies (if female).
5. Wait to get the company’s full holiday schedules.
6. Avoid questions about whether management is a stickler about being on time, leaving early or unexpected absences.
7. Keep quiet on any “odd benefits” questions based upon the benefits of previous employers, including massages, organic snacks, clothing allowance, etc.
