Years ago, when I started at BigCorp, I reported to my new building at 8:00 sharp. My boss didn't come in until 10:00, and it turns out that's the status quo there. What is it for your company?
Our company policy is quite standard for BigCorps in Sweden:
8-17, with 45 minutes of lunch. Flextime +-1 hour (i.e 7-16, 9-18).
We trade 15 min of lunch (60->45) during the year for only working 7 hrs during the summer, so 8-16 between June and August. Practically everyone is off in July so it is a good deal for the company strictly speaking but that one hour does make a bigger difference than I thought it would.
In my current project most get in between 7 and 8 but in other parts of the IT organization most get in closer to 9. Varies a bit and many have kids so they tend to arrive late or leave early.
Our hours for developers are 10am to 4pm, which is because many of our customers are in China so people often have to work and attend calls later at night. So of course if you leave at 4 then it's expected that you're making up the extra time at home. Though a lot of people (particularly those with kids) make it in significantly earlier than 10.
Some people get in early (7am), some people get in late (11-noon). People generally put in roughly the correct amount of hours, and it evens out - sometimes you do a short day, sometimes a long day. If you get done what you need to and it doesn't disrupt your clients, it's pretty flexible.
Mid-size corp office in Sydney: the bulk come in around 9am. We're flexible as many people are working cross timezones and generally a progressive worker mentality.
My experience is big corps require you to be in earlier, but there are much less burning the midnight oil days.
