The key is asking. If they lie, and it turns out worse, then leave. That simple. There are ways you can ask questions on team collaboration that would give you a good idea if they're painting a better picture. The point is to ask, and ask a lot of questions. I think a real key would be if they were doing an interview and they're all over the place if they have some sort of video conferencing setup so everyone can see each other. If that's not the case or they don't use Lync Live meeting or something where people can see you, I just did an interview and it was video with remote folks, then its probably not a good decision. If a company prides on team collaboration, then they will have these tools in place. If not, run.
That's great and all when there is an established team... asking how they do "remote collaboration" or what not. It is entirely different when you are the first person to be hired on the team and your boss himself is also fresh to the company. Like I said this is a new LOB/product... so pretty much everything is from scratch from the ground up. There are no established norms at this time. I'm sure over time there will be some culture that will develop team-wise. -

Well since there isn't a norm you can definitely play a pivotal role in shaping the way they handle this tbh.
