-Interviewer: "do you have any problems in working after 19.30?"

-Me: "what do you mean? if something's wrong and it's my fault, l'll do my best to ..."

-Interviewer: "well, we have people here that works usually after 19.30, so if you have any problems in doing this, better to know now."

(uhm... the job was from 9AM to ... WTF PM?!)

I wonder what work time is in your country

@hoggchan we usually work 8 hours, so 9-to-18 (with 1hour spare for lunch). We are in Italy so lunch is taken seriously

Same here. Just a matter to educate them, I leave at my time and let my work done and organized, they cannot complain. After some time they will do the same, if don't you are in the wrong place and that work time will have a negative impact in your life

@musikele Same 9-18 in the current company and we have 90 mins for lunch and probably a nap. However, 9-21-6days is also a usual thing in China in game industry.

It is good they are being honest up front so you know the expectations. What did you do?

Overtime is acceptable if:

1) It is rare
and
2) It is properly compensated for (either by a significantly higher salary and extra vacation days or by hourly overtime pay)

If overtime is common then it is a sign of mismanagement and that company should be avoided. (I would ask how many hours of overtime per week they would consider as "normal" and then add 10% to my salary requirement per hour)

Do they pay extra (whether cash or pizza) if you work overtime?

@Jasey meh

I work 6 - 3, early morning person myself.

In other words:
We plan like shit and have non-realistic deadlines, so are you willing to work 13-14 hours a day so we could still be somewhat on time?

BTW I myself work 7:50-17:15.
The exit time depends on my train back home that's why I pull extra 30 min above my 9 work hours.

does anyone have experience in germany?
