Something that I was impressed by when I interviewed at my current job was not just that the company said that they value work-life balance, but that they demonstrated it: they pay time-and-a-half for overtime specifically in order to dissuade management from ever having us work overtime. And in the year I've been here we've had one period where we could optionally work overtime, but we've had no mandatory overtime. I didn't appreciate how great of a boon this was until I learned more about what it's like to work at other companies. Overtime isn't just about making more money, it's also about having realistic expectations of workers and not burning them out.
