There is a mismatch between where management tells you they want to be, and what their actions are.
I don't want to go into a lot of detail, but here are things I would suggest you ask about in an interview:
1. Do salaried employees need to clock in/out everyday, as well as at lunch.
2. Does the company offer tuition reimbursement.
3. What conferences and training do they provide to the software team.
4. What is the cost of health insurance, and how long is the waiting period.
5. How many paid holidays do you get.
6. Do you have paid sick time?
7. How much vacation do you get.
8. Do you have a career ladder (ask to see it).
9. Do you offer sign on bonuses?
10. Are you required to work during Gearfest and is it possible to take vacation during that time.
11. What is the turnover rate in the software team?
12. What is the average tenure of the software team?
13. How many people with the title of manager are in the marketing department?
If you ask these questions, I'm fairly certain you won't be happy with any of the responses.
