Great list of information anyone should know before accepting an offer.

As a hiring manager, I'm usually one of the first people new candidates speak with (perhaps right after briefly talking to a recruiter). Generally, I want to make sure candidates have all this information within the first interview or two. These days, I tend to open my interview with an opportunity for the candidate to ask any questions about the role and company that weren't answered by the recruiter.

I also try to leave time at the end, but I find that there's often so little time at the end, that it's better to start with any questions.

Same here. Nowadays I usually do "reverse interviews" and have the candidate grill me and ask me questions. After all, there's a ton of tech jobs and the power is in the hands of the candidate; their questions should come first.

Some folks are surprised by this and I often have to help them along, but that's cool -- it is a bit different.
