Company culture is treat others the way you want to be treated. So be honest, and don't try to BS around the answer. Of course, there's confidentiality and politeness with certain questions, e.g. often people ask why this seat is empty and you don't necessarily want to tell them that the last guy ragequit. But you also don't want to spin things. I often bring up Glassdoor reviews and it's common for people to spin excessive work as "a challenge". If you're hiring someone smart (and you often want to!), they'll see right through it. Also they shouldn't expect things to be perfect. If everything was 100% documented with full test coverage and everything is under control, why hire someone? That's a flag.
