Eigenvectors of operator on Hilbert space are real and distinct - so what can I say about the operator?

I have an operator $A$ in a Hilbert space, and after numerically calculating its spectrum I can see that the eigenvalues are real and distinct. What can I say about this operator with this information?

Does it mean $A$ is compact and self adjoint? Are the eigenvectors of $A$ orthogonal?
