There are a number of websites where you can do research about a company. One is GlassDoor.com I believe. I always research a company before joining up.
As for overtime stories, I worked with a bunch of consultants that were doing 12-14 hour days all the time and working over the weekend. I asked him why he did that and his answer was that there were 10 people willing to take his job if he ever quit. He worked for Witpro and was Indian. Most of the teams I was working with were from that company and all were working crazy long hours. But if they don't want to do it, the company has an easy time finding others who want to make the money and so they quietly do it.
