    Personally I would turn down any company that expected me to work weekends before they were even paying me. Some of us have lives, you know ;-)...

    Back to the topic at hand...I think it's damn near impossible to get at this info in the context of an interview process.

    Teamwork is overrated. I think the skillset and the willingness to learn new skills is more important. I have yet to see an employer value teamwork highly....
