In my company - yes. They tout work life balance, but you are expected to pick up your phone 24/7. On a related note, our policy says you need to put in a 7.5 hour day. But if you want to be promoted, the unofficial number is 9+.

I do see work life balance in a job ad as a red flag these days, or at least questions to be asked, a bit of doublespeak :-)

I've seen the company violate so many of it's own policies over the years and it's supposed to be one of the top 20 best places to work (Computer World list) . I just wouldn't trust or believe any any company at this point.
