Is there are a good way to ask these questions?

So I finally got an MM offer, I haven't signed yet and was wondering is there a good way to ask about things like hours, black car service if I'm working late, expensing meals if I'm working late etc.? Obviously things like hours are an important consideration as one doesn't want to work 110 a week nor do you want so little to do that you only have 20 hours of work a week either as a friend doing a summer BB Branch PWM internship found out. Is there a politically astute way of finding out?

If it is a well-known MM, you should be fine. I assume that this is for FT. I believe that all will provide for late night/weekend meals black car (or more likely cab) service etc... As boutiquebank said, it really shouldn't matter as you aren't going to turn down your only offer over stupid details like that and if you have multiple offers, the decision should be made on culture and fit more than perks like these. (plus, like I said, most of the reputable MM, from my experience, offer these perks like the BB)
