Different companies and parts of companies have different standards of
what is expected regarding working hours.  This can range from nine to five
with long lunches to twelve hour days including weekends.  One company claimed
one of its benefits was free pizza for Sunday dinner.   Another company had
staff meetings at 8:30 am Saturday.  The trick is to learn what the actual 
requirement is (usually not discussed during interviews) and if it is 
acceptable to you.  

Different companies have different attitudes toward their employees.  This
ranges from the employees being very important to the company to the
attitude that employees are a money sink (like talking about a company's 
monthly `burn rate').   

Loyality is related to how much a person likes the company;  the best 
measure of that is:  Does the employee actively recruit his/her friends to
join the company.   Or actively discourage friends from applying there.
