Some companies have a "we're going to invest in you" attitude.

They take care of their engineers knowing they keep becoming more valuable to them so risking them leaving to another company or burning out for a few extra hours is a bad idea.

They don't get greedy with their "optimisation" of human effort. They let people work at a sustainable pace and be happy for as long as possible.

On the other hand some companies have a "oh crap the timer is ticking and we're going to have to squeeze every last drop of productivity out of you before you leave this hell hole" attitude.

They have a "resource to be used up and thrown out" attitude about people.

It gets them into a vicious cycle which only makes their behavior worse.
