No?

I've never been on zero months notice. A reduced notice period for probation yes, but never on no notice.

Always one week notice during probation in my experience.

But the point remains that the company can terminate you with very little cause and very little notice when you've just started. So while it is a good idea to wait until at least receiving a signed contract before giving notice to your current job you'll still be at higher risk for some time.
