My general observation on rough % of co. who really practice work life balance:

1) Ministry / Stat Board = 70%
2) GLC = 10%
3) US/Europe MNC = 25%
4) Jap/Korea MNC = <10%
5) Big Local Co = <10%
6) SME = <5%

Those who want work life balance IMO best bet is still to go for a government job although of course also no 100% guarantee will be good life.

Actually Jap banks, work life balance is quite good. When i worked there i left office zhun zhun at 6 pm (sometimes 10-15mins later only) and i was a corporate banking RM lol.

I am now in a Korean bank and I usually leave office before 6 pm (official is 9 - 5.30 !) so plenty of work life balance too!

And yesterday during interview I will do a rough question like: on average what time do staff go back etc to get a rough idea.
