"Are you willing to work nights and weekends to get an assignment done on time?" How about, how often do you have to work nights and weekends to get your projects done? As a candidate if I was asked this question I'd conclude that the company is disorganized, understaffed, biting off projects it can't chew, or all of the above. Or that the boss is an alpha personality who would be a jerk to work for. If you want to hire and keep "A players" you need to have an A team and genius ideas. Just working a lot of hours is not a guarantee of success; in my experience it's more often a sign of failure and bad management.
