Companies described like that tend to be for underpaid workaholics. Also I think the "work hard play hard" phrase implies an unhealthy culture of excess. http:/

  Yea, definitely "work hard, play hard" is almost always a red flag for me when I read it. Everyone is expected to work hard. When it's explicitly spelled out in a job description, that is usually code for "long hours, required face time, leading to burnout". And Play hard? What does that even mean in the context of a job? I don't go to the office to play games.

    When I see it I read it to mean that they expect folks to socialize outside of work (including at work, e.g. video games, drinking, etc). Mainly when I see "work hard, play hard" I read "I'm way too old to be working there"

  When I read "We work hard and play hard," I see a company of extraverts who won't leave each other alone for the entire day. No thanks!
