I would suspect this depends on the type of work you are doing. Working for a start-up that is trying to innovate and rock the tech world? Deliver and over-deliver, in my humble opinion. Working for an Enterprise company that does SaaS, PaaS, or some type of aaS? Deliver on the dot, no more, no less. It doesn't help you any - you'll be bored sick - but it's reality, and you're best saving your "awesome" for those FOSS projects you hack on the side, until you can nail that primo job where over-achieving is not only expected, not doing it can get you canned! Cheers.
