If you were a programmer, 11 hours would be the minimum, in some companies. I've known people in my office to work every hour they aren't sleeping or commuting. And they don't get paid overtime, nor are they guaranteed bonuses -- that's just how the industry works. Many folks are at their maximum accrued vacation time, but can't take a day off because of what they're working on, and won't accrue any more until they use some of it. Scary. It's definitely a big reason why some folks quit -- several people have specifically said so (esp. those who are parents), and I can't say I'm surprised.
