I've often ended up taking homeworks and exams home to grade after dinner because I didn't have time for this during the day...

I have certainly heard from many people about the ridiculously exaggerated preparation time used in early career teaching - but often the motive behind this is a lack of confidence: An underlying fear that students will somehow 'find you out'. This is certainly something which I still experience after 10 years of lecturing - and it makes me wonder why Uni's do not provide this kind of guidance as part of an induction process.
