> There is absolutely no benefit to a potential employee or the employer not to be up front about these things to good hires I think you are making a questionable statement, specifically because you fail to describe what you mean by "these things" when talking about "these things or those things" can leak sensitive company information. For example, you would not want to describe what technology is used for secrets management or laptop security. What you mean may be very different, but that's the problem with the discussion: a lack of specifics. Everyone chooses to take the safest route. > use the information they gain about company culture to determine where they want to work. Yeah, culture, that you will inevitably talk about during your following interviews. This is a liability issue and game theory (again, because modern capitalism) dictates that you want to give the potential as little as possible when securing an agreement. Yes you can over-correct and probably do as a company for some situations, but it's better than the alternative.
