I think I have not formulated myself very well. A bad company is "a company where crisis' occurs daily or weekly instead of maybe once every couple of months."

I think I have not formulated myself very well. A bad company is "a company where crisis' occurs daily or weekly instead of maybe once every couple of months." In such a company, crisis is the standard, not the deviation. In such a company there'll be rampant requests for overtime. That's a terrible place to work. As I recommended to OP, if he is in such a company (which it could sound like), he should leave. A good place is one where most people consistently leave after their standard 7-8 hours. But IF there is a fire, then it's a terrible attitude for a developer to adopt a "not my problem, time's up" attitude. This doesn't only go for devs by the way, it's the same for managers and any other role really.
