Ask them on the interview.

It will be a red flag to dysfunctional companies who think you don't want to work hard.

Employees at good companies will be proud that they don't overwork.

This is true in my case. We work 8 hour days, 5 days per week, and I always mention it when interviewing candidates. We're proud of the fact that we can ship a successful product without working the team to constant exhaustion.

I actually ask on the first call now. Saves a tremendous amount of time.
