One thing I watch for when hiring is what the programmer has at home - if he doesn't have at least three machines all running differeent OS's he doesn't have the calling.
I'm an undergrad, so my only experience is internships and assessment centres, so take this with a pinch of salt. No matter where I've been, work/life balance has been talked about a lot, to the point of telling people to go home because they're working too long.
Fine, you may be passionate about whatever your field is, but that can go too far.
