It's unfortunate, but I agree with the comments that say asking too many of these questions (and the way they are asked) can be a red flag for the interviewing company. In my experience, the best way to get to something closer to the truth about a work environment is to do something casual (lunch usually, but even just a group interview can work) with your prospective peers. You can observe how they interact with each other - do they seem happy and friendly with one another? Or do they seem cowed into submission, afraid to open up about anything? The stories they choose to tell you often will reveal much more than you could get out of a formal list of questions. I've actually had people tell me that the boss was a jerk in one of these situations (and the whole group agreed, not just one disgruntled employee.) Or heard about the time some employees did some wildly inappropriate (and hilarious) things in a conference room. I ran away from the first situation, but would have gladly accepted a job at the second (not _because_ of the conference room thing - these people seemed to genuinely like working together and at the company.)
