I also feel like that companies that do genuinely care about you will make an effort to make the topic of motivation to both you (the employee) and them (the manager) discussable. I wouldn't be surprised if top notch companies held both people accountable to be their best selfs as much as they possibly can, and if that doesn't always jive with work, then that's fine.

This has some limit of course, but I think that such a limit will take a while to get there when you are in a good team that fits.
