Also in bioinformatics, I think it depends on your company tbh. Pre-demic at my old company, we expected to be on-site and seldom WFH. Some of my coworkers were commuting 4 hours a day. My current gig is hybrid, with coworkers on-site as often as they choose to. Most of us are in 2-3 days a week. Another place I interviewed at recently is requiring minimum 3 days on-site. No harm in asking in your interview about the culture. Some companies are really stodgy about requiring on-site time for silly reasons (team cohesion, insurance/liability etc...), while others are cool.

I feel like , besides interview, this is something you can just look up company policy on.( like look up WFH policy). Is that correct? Or would you need to ask?

Sure, but I like asking at the interview to know beforehand to clarify whatever rules they have around it, and mostly to gauge how stringent/enforced it is, and to see if there's room to negotiate it.

Even for an internship interview? The assumption at my program is hopefully being hired after, but it still feels "green."
