> "The <company name> day is typically regarded as 8AM to 8PM."

correct me if I'm wrong, but usually such statement means that you can choose your own 8 hour timeframe to work. So you can work 08 AM - 4 PM, or 11AM - 7 PM, or whatever. It is not expressing expectation of 12h workday.

That's how I would take that too. It sounds like it's okay to come in at 11 as long as I work until at least 7 pm.

They definitely meant 12 hour days. I got there at 9 and left at 6:30 for the first few days (I hadn't read the handbook) and got an email from my boss about "leaving early"
