This is exactly why I will never work for a small company again (have only worked for 5-digit companies at least, since then).
How much can I spend on meals during business travel? Why does XYZ get to work remotely or come in late as they please, but nobody else seems to? How did ABC get to go fully remote?
Every workplace has rules, but in my experience, the more vague a company is about their rules and processes, the more they want to mindgame you into asking for less than they would've given. See things like unlimited vacation. In my experience, you can count on successful large companies having clear, well-established processes and expectations because there's simply no other way to run a business of 20- or 40,000 people.
