NP but I waited until I got my offer. Their answer was vague "teleworking is available to all employees depending on your performance." I pressed hard for more information and none ever came out. Turns out boss hates telework. I'm two years in and recently I got one day a month of telework. I feel conned. There has to be a better way to find out before you even apply or interview.[/quote]

Definitely they should make it clear in the interview. 
In one of my previous employments, I was told in the interview that there is "work from home" option available at least twice a week.
This was told by project manager. After working there for 6 months, I asked if I can work from home once a week, resource manager/team lead never approved.
He said "work from home" option is available only on need basis. and he apologized that project manager passed on wrong information in the interview.
It was kind of unfair because all the people reporting directly to project manager had work from home option and all the people directly reporting to resource manager/team lead did not.
