I guess all fine questions if you apply for unknown startup position. In any serious company, first would give you a big fat warning for ignorance of not preparing for interview at all and checking company. Normally that's 5 mins effort max.

Second would mark you as clueless about whole business segment company operates is, and then why hire clearly inexperienced you, unless asking for intern/junior position.

Third is fine in any environment I guess, but can be weird in say banking.

What happened about asking about team, job, workflow, methodologies and tools, management structure, office structure, WFH and so on?
