I cant answer that question honestly, but I don't accept your accusation that I am therefore lazy, dishonest or naive. As a candidate when you ask a vague question to a company, you are inviting them to BS you and that's what you'll get as a result of it. I don't wish to spend time during the interview BSing people about my work culture, so either I am one of those things you mentioned, or that question isn't really a good way to get to know my company's culture, or the culture of many other companies. My advice is to ask specific questions to a company; how much overtime have developers worked in the past year? Is it compensated? How big are the various teams at the company? How is performance measured and how can I ensure that I am progressing in my career? How much time and money can developers spend on self-improvement, training, conferences, etc... How frequently do people get to work from home? Once details about your current compensation have been disclosed, ask about how future compensation works, are raised given out yearly? On what basis? Those questions are tangible and are much more likely to get an actual answer instead of asking the moral equivalent of "What's your biggest flaw that keeps you up at night?" I think jumping to the conclusion you did about me is poor form and overly judgmental off of very little information, but that said people can come to their own conclusion on the matter.
