>When I talked to a recruiter recently, though, I asked them about their flexible work schedule. I have /never/ talked to a recruiter who knew anything about how the actual company worked. And how would they? In my experience? how many hours you are expected to work is a complex negotiation that depends a lot on how important you are to the team, and how effective you are perceived as being. This changes dynamically, too. get something really cool done during the slow times? yeah, slack for a week; nobody will whine. Screw it up during crunch time? you better show up before the boss and leave after the boss for a few weeks. (the second one can be dangerous... I mean, if you are screwing up due to overwork, then having you work more.... but that's the way it is.)
