Questions to ask HF before accepting offer

Hi current IBD analyst, just had my final round with an equities L/S HF for a research analyst role. It went very well and was told I will hear back soon.

Of course, I may not get the offer, but if I do I was wondering what questions I should be asking?

E.g. would it be ok to ask how my bonus will be structured i.e. whether I would get linkage to the PnL or is this a dumb question to ask for an entry research analyst? Should I ask what my working hours will be? Should I ask about perks such as gym membership (my bank gives us free gym membership so would be great if i could continue this)? Should I ask about notice period if i decide to leave the fund in x years? 

Thanks
