Keep away from countries known for overworking and by extension companies originating from there. Examples include: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, USA, etc. Counter examples: The Netherlands, Scandinavia + some other European countries. From what I've seen so far it's mostly a culture thing. Note: I'm not really a supporter of the "work/life balance" term as it is very difficult to nail down the meaning. How is work not part of your life, does it imply your work is something bad and should be "balanced out" and so on and so on.
