when do you work? (high-tech edition)

[cellio]

A recent conversation at work makes me curious about current work-hour trends in the high-tech sector. If you work in this sector (in any job), work full-time and outside your home, and work what your company considers to be "conventional hours" (e.g. I'm not looking for the night-shift folks here), would you please answer a few questions for me?

"Typically" in these questions means that; I'm not concerned about the occasional doctor's appointment or parent-teacher conference that makes you change your routine. If you have something more regular going on that complicates your answer, please comment. If you are Shabbat-observant, please answer for the summer and comment. (I call out that special case because I know it will apply to several folks here.)

"By what time" means if you tend to arrive between, say, 8:00 and 8:30, choose 8:30. "After what time" means if you tend to leave between, say, 5:00 and 5:30, choose 5:00. Think of this as "what's the range of hours when, if someone wanted to talk with me in person, I'd be around".

Corporate HQ for my company works 8-5 and is not paid for lunch. They turn a generally benevolent eye on those of us who work in the other building who have always been 9-5 or 9-6. There are even a few people here who work 10:30-7. Flextime is worked out within the group but our staff includes one Tanglewood Chorus member who works very odd hours due to Symphony rehearsals and voice lessons.
