A few things:
1) Reach out to people who used to work there. You have to discount the negativity somewhat, but if the response is positive then that's a good sign.
2) Rather than ask "Are there communications problems" you should ask "What are the biggest communication challenges?" Also ask, "What are the 2-3 most important managerial areas for me to fix on day one, and the 2-3 most important areas for me to leave alone"
3) Go to Glassdoor. Again you have to discount the negativity, but that will give you good areas to probe and it's fair to ask, "I see this on Glassdoor, what do you say?"
Good luck tomorrow!
