If they answer yes to any of the following:

- Have you ever had to work on the weekend or well beyond 5pm outside of your own personal interest/initiative?

- Are we required to be on-call

If there's any hint of "nah, we don't really write tests because we just need to ship stuff, y'know"

I'm not sure I would even know how to answer that first question. When I was working, I spent many weekends and late nights traveling. It was my "own initiative" I guess in the sense that it was sort of my job.

I realize that probably doesn't describe a lot of people in which case it's probably the right job for them.
