How would you decide if you will like the management policies when applying for a company?

Please feel free to close this if you think this is not the right place to ask this question.

However, I think this question is very relevant to every s/w engineer applying for jobs.

I've come to realize that when you join some company you should not only like the product they build, but you should also like the team and the the policies of the management.
Checking if you like the product is easy. You can Google for it. But, how should one decide if he would like the policies of the management. When you are interviewing with someone you get opportunities to ask questions to determine your fit. What are the questions that a candidate should ask to determine if they would like the management policies? Personally, I have also come to realize that management usually tries to be vague about things and tries to sell the team without giving away the entire truth. What are questions you would ask to determine this?
I hope people on this forum will have more experience than me at dealing with this.
