I don't see how this comment can be true. I have worked for a few big name companies that did not require engineers to work for more than 8 hours per day. In fact, most of my teammates used to work between 4-7 hours per day. These companies did not provide extra money for overtime work but it did provide compensation-off for overtime work, i.e. if I worked say 12 hours on two different days, I could take one day paid leave for free.
