Would you prefer them to lie to you? At least the recruiter was honest, even if the company's WLB was poor.

Honesty is appreciated. But the reactionary laughter signals a deeper cultural issue than just WLB, IMO. It struck me as off-putting.
I would also find it off-putting. IMO one should feel embarrassed to disclose that the company they recruit employees for makes a habit of burning those employees out and then tossing them for more new hires.
