> just like you BS some answers in your interview, companies do the same as well.

Yeah, and just like they sniff out your BS, you need to sniff out theirs. Ask for details and see if they check out.

You usually don't have a lot of time for detailed questioning with each interviewer though. You should get a lot of time with the manager or lead, but use your other time well; don't ask everyone the same questions unless you expect different answers.

It also helps to figure out what you actually want from an employer. A lot of these articles are written from a perspective that there are specific things everyone should want and must verify, but terrible environments for some can be great for others. Of course, late and missing paychecks is terrible for all.
