I imagine there are responses like "Well, we're a small start-up so the benefits aren't really hammered out so here's the stock options info" or a cheerful "We will get you that during your onboarding."

I wonder if it's worth it to be like I will sign an NDA about your benefits if you can get me them prior to me being on the payroll just so I can actually review the offer.

I can say benefits are a transparent thing in interviews, then at the point of review you’re already subject to any corporate policy. “New” Startups don’t go public/IPO for a long time. If they sidestep talking about them, likely they don’t exist. In twenty years I’ve never heard of benefits in an NDA- those would be some “special” benefits.

I might just read AskAManager too much :) There have been posts over there about what to do when you've accepted a job but forgot to ask about the salary and need to ask it before starting and it's like... what!?
