[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the website promote "work life" balance? If they do than broadly ask, "what does that mean exactly?". Esp. after you have a firm offer. The HR person will tell you to take it up w/ Hiring Manager most likely and clear the air there, but use that as an opportunity for an open discussion. [/quote]

Which company is going to tell you that they do not promote work life balance? I interviewed for a position where the two managers went on and on about how family friendly the place was. In reality, it was the complete opposite-it was work life balance and family friendly as long as you fulfilled the numerous  deadlines and demands. I missed DC's daycare Halloween party, I had to cancel time off that I had scheduled due to something that came up the last minute. Fortunately, I was able to transfer to a more reasonable environment after  1 1/2 years but that was a very stressful period especially when DH traveled and I had to do drop off and pick up.

OP, if flexibility is key which is the case for many parents with young kids, salary is 125K, short commute, telework, etc., I personally would not take the risk of giving up your current situation.[/quote]
